About the Item

This spectacular still life painting by Will Ayres is truly exceptional - the artist's techniques are mind-blowing. Will's first solo show was a sellout in London, and his work has continued to excite and and enthrall serious collectors to this day. He work has appeared in group shows alongside Mario Testino, Andy Warhol and Andreas Gursky. Delighted to have this piece available on the 1stdibs platform exclusively for sale. His other still life painting we had on 1stDibs sold to a private collector this week directly through the artist, so only this one left. Still Life compositions are initially composed, photographed, rearranged and re photographed many times over. Will uses photography simply as a way of imaging memory. It is the actual act of making a painting that invention takes over. It acts primarily in relation to the basic composition for a painting, similar in a way that some painters in the latter part of the 19th Century used photography. The flowers live in an expansive visual space, like an arena for an event to be played out. The dark mysterious backgrounds and rich velvety shadows are influenced directly from the Dutch Still Life. Where as the simplicity in composition and central images derives from Manet's later flower paintings. The scale and process at play creates a contemporary visual appearance. Throughout his painting process, Will wants to end up with a painterly image that he hasn't planned. This method of choice, chance, inspiration and deconstruction may produce a specific type of image, but it never produces a predetermined one. What matters is the experience of the language of paint, scale and arrangement. The imperfections are manifested in the paintings visible brushwork and at times impasto application of paint. By not planning the outcome, he hopes to achieve the same coherence and fragility that a random slice of nature always possesses.
