About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. In Copper Vase, Roses and Red Grapes, Rebecca Ritchie showcases her exceptional skill in still life realism. The painting centers around a gleaming copper vase, which reflects the light in subtle, warm tones that enhance the rich textures of its surroundings. The vase is adorned with delicate white roses, whose soft petals contrast beautifully with the bold, crimson foliage beside them. The harmonious arrangement of the flowers invites the viewer to appreciate the juxtaposition between the gentle, organic forms and the solid, reflective nature of the vase. Ritchie’s attention to detail is remarkable, particularly in her depiction of the red grapes scattered at the base of the vase. Each grape is meticulously rendered with a realistic sheen, bringing a lifelike quality to the composition. The dark background further enhances the vibrancy of the objects, creating an intimate atmosphere where light and shadow play delicately over the scene. The artist’s skillful manipulation of light and contrast brings a timeless elegance to the work. This masterful still life, Copper Vase, Roses and Red Grapes, is available for acquisition at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea, as well as online. Art collectors now have the opportunity to bring this beautiful and evocative piece into their collection, a celebration of light, texture, and everyday beauty. Artist Biography: Rebecca is a still life artist based in Tunbridge Wells, whose practice approaches subject matter with a classical technical style. Having attended Maidstone school of art Rebecca went on to enjoy a successful career in Television Set design. Rebecca began making a body of work as a full time artist in 2015 and is currently based in Langton Green where she produces artwork from her own studio. Rebecca also enjoys painting portraits and won the 2018 ‘The Artist’s People’s Choice Award’ with the Artist and Leisure painter magazines for her Portrait ‘Colin’. The artist has featured in Galleries and Exhibitions all over the UK including with the Society of Women Artists in London. Inspired by the Dutch masters, in both technique and lighting, she uses many glazed layers and favours ‘Chiaroscuro’ lighting with bold contrasts between dark and light. Working exclusively in oils, her props cupboard is brimming with hoarded silverware, glass, and china teacups which she uses to great effect in her work, capturing reflections and tranquility in the rendering of light as it passes through the translucent skin of fruit or glass, and porcelain. “My compositions are constructed in my mind’s eye before I begin hunting for my props and I am very much drawn to a combination of items that create an appealing scene or give a sense of nostalgia. I spend as long as I can on the composition and use a digital camera to help work out the best composition. I spend hours rooting around on ebay, antique shops – and sometimes even friends’ houses for things that I’m specifically looking for. I’ve built up quite a collection of pottery, glass and old silverware, which I like for its reflective qualities. I prefer natural light because the shadows are so different, I also enjoy the hint of my garden through the window that emerges in the reflected light. I spend a long time on the composition, housing it in a dark board structure pinned together to specifically control and restrict light. I also occasionally introduce candle light ‘off stage’ for additional moulding and tone.” – Rebecca Ritchie
