The classically composed still life of three shells by Helen Oh brings the viewer in with its richness of color and dreamy quality of the surface. The inherent beauty of the shells are emphasized by the soft surfaces begging the viewer to reach out and touch them. The painting is framed with a simple walnut frame. Helen Oh Seashells and Sand Dollar oil on panel Measures: 14 H x 10 W in Helen Oh, b. 1962, Seoul, Korea For several years I have been painting seashells, both contemporary and fossilized specimens, some of which are millions of years old. That their designs are virtually unchanged from ancient times to the present points to the perfection of their forms and their incredible adaptability. These sea creatures live a mysterious existence, and after death, provide a vital service to humankind by transforming millions of their discarded shells to calcium carbonate, a key ingredient of concrete. Through these imageries, I hope to connect my audience to nature and issues of marine ecology. To enhance the design of these intricate forms, I painted from direct observation of them, set up before my easel...

This delicately rendered painting presents the viewer with a study in contrasts. A collection of 6 seashells are arranged in a setting with three differing shades of blue. The shells are arranged, some in the ceramic glazed bowl and some sitting upon the reflective tabletop in a composition designed to emphasize their shapes, textures and subtle differences. Soft pinks and creams in two Conch shells are painted with such luxurious strokes of paint you can feel the volume of these grand shells with your eyes. The gentle orange color on a shell reflected on the tabletop pops against the background. Similarly, a clam shell who's tinge of yellow would almost disappear on any other background draws the eye directly to it, highlighting it's orange neighbor, and upstaging the giant Conch shells vying for attention in the bowl. This artwork is framed. The framed dimensions are H 13 x W 10 inches. Helen Oh Seashell Still Life...
