Ralph Siferd
'Champagne and Strawberries' Still Life after 17th Century Dutch Masters

About the Item

Ralph Siferd's ode to the Dutch masters of the 17th century can be seen in this still life. A bowl of luscious strawberries sits waiting to be eaten next to a crystal champagne flute - a luxurious breakfast for the viewer. Backdropped by a neutral scene and minimalistic table the eye is drawn solely to the collection food and drink Siferd assembled. Canvas size: 20" x 16" Ralph Siferd was born in 1951 in Calgary, Alberta, to a artistic family. Siferd started painting at a very young age under the direction of his mother, herself a painter. “I was weaned on images by the great Renaissance, Impressionist and Neo Classical European painters. Later, as a student I was greatly influenced by the works of the Expressionist and Abstract Expressionist painters particularly regarding their free use of paint and the tactile, visceral feeling of the medium.” It was while studying Art History at the University of Calgary that he discovered the timeless narrative of the 17th and 18th Century French and Northern European Still Life painters. Their images have had a profound influence on his work. “My work is predominantly still life because I feel the ordinary objects of our surroundings are where we live, where the narratives of our lives take place.'
