About the Item
An exceptional oil painting by acclaimed British still life artist Paul Stone, The Forager exemplifies the artist’s refined approach to contemporary realism. Inspired by classical Dutch and Spanish still life traditions, this meticulously detailed work features a bounty of ripe apples, their warm, sun-kissed hues contrasted against a moody, chiaroscuro-inspired backdrop. Stone’s focus on texture and naturalistic detail recalls the works of William Nicholson, with a modern sensibility that makes this piece both elegant and timeless. A compelling addition to any fine art collection, The Forager is an ode to the simple beauty of nature and found objects, seamlessly bridging traditional techniques with contemporary artistic vision.
Yorkshire based artist Paul Stone became a full-time painter in 2008. He comes to his discipline with a first-class degree History of Art and a masters in Contemporary Fine Art Practice in Sheffield. A professional practice based in South Yorkshire continues to this day, each year building on previous successes. He specialises in traditional still life paintings inspired by the everyday objects that surround us, albeit
with a fresh contemporary look. Painting in oils, in the style of classical realism, Paul employs an accomplished use of light and shade to create a sense texture and atmosphere to his work.
He often uses fruit and vegetables juxtaposed with found objects. His skill breathes new life into the commonplace. The often-plain background only serves to heighten the focus on the objects, seeking the viewer to reappraise the everyday and the familiar. Composition is a core consideration in the work, with Paul seeking a balance and harmony that recall his love for tradition Spanish and Ditch works from the 18th Century, and more recent personal favourites such as William Nicholson. After winning a national Still Life artist competition (and being shortlisted again in 2012), Paul’s works have been shown and sold in galleries around the country. With a growing and receptive audience – and numerous other awards over the last few years – there is little doubt this artist is destined to receive more critical and commercial success.
“At the core of my paintings is the search for a precision of focus on the formal properties of objects that have an everyday, almost unremarkable presence in our lives. This results in a familiar and nostalgic content, and for me a more intimate relationship with their representation. While the work displays a high sense of realism, particularly in reproduction, it is important to me that the works are still essentially a personal interpretation of form and composition, and therefore not lose that sense of being a painting".

By Douglas Newton
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Oil paint on canvas
Doug Newton’s hyper-real paintings observe reality, explore translucency, reflections and luminosity, and dazzle the viewer with all the ways light can transform our perceptions. His subject matter concentrates on still lives of food, toys, candy and household objects.
In addition to many group shows across the country, Mr. Newton’s show, “HARD CANDY and other confections” represents his fifth solo exhibition. His paintings have been collected in numerous private collections.
Mr. Newton resides in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, NY.
Dr. Sonia Coman writes in her essay, Doug Newton’s hard candy: the confection of painting
Doug Newton’s paintings are about… painting.
The hyperrealist technique of trompe l’oeil or “trick the eye” is knowingly playful. It simultaneously calls attention to the illusion of a different material—for example, translucent candy wrappers—and the reality of the layers of paint, masterfully applied to the canvas. In that, Newton’s paintings pay homage to an esteemed series of trompe l’oeil masters, from Inquisition-era Spanish painter Francisco de Zurbarán to Gilded-Age American painter William Michael Harnett...
