James Hartman Still-life Paintings

California painter James Hartman was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1950. He studied art at Meramec College. When Hartman was in art school, he became fascinated with the Society of Six, a group of artists who painted en plein air and exhibited together in the San Francisco Bay Area during the early 20th century. Hartman's paintings of the Northern California landscape pay tribute to some of the great Bay Area artists of the past. His expressive scenes feel alive through his vibrant use of color and his painterly brushwork. Hartman’s paintings have an immediate visual impact from a distance, yet up close, dissolve into a series of confident marks and strokes. Hartman has participated in numerous shows throughout the Bay Area and his paintings are now included in collections both private and corporate internationally.

Autumn Still Life -original still life impressionism painting - contemporary art
Located in London, Chelsea
A rich and evocative composition, Autumn Still Life encapsulates the quiet beauty of the changing seasons. A crisp red apple and a golden quince rest on a weathered blue wooden surface, their presence made all the more poetic by a single fallen leaf. The contrasting colors—a vibrant red, a muted green, and the warm yellows of decay—speak to the passage of time and the beauty of nature’s cycles. Titorenkov’s handling of texture is remarkable; the polished skin of the apple gleams with reflected light, while the rougher, imperfect surface of the quince tells a different story, one of rustic charm and natural imperfection. The worn wooden surface, marked by time, adds another layer of history to the scene, while the curled leaf suggests the quiet rustle of an autumn breeze. This painting is not merely an arrangement of objects—it is a meditation on impermanence, on the fleeting nature of ripeness and change. Autumn Still Life invites the viewer to reflect on time’s passage, to embrace both the vibrancy of the present and the nostalgia of the past. This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Artist bio: Born in 1963 in Kotel, Bulgaria, Alexander Titorenkov...

Still Life with Grapes - original still life realism painting - contemporary art
Located in London, Chelsea
Dramatic and luxurious, Still Life with Grapes is a striking study of contrast, texture, and abundance. The deep blue-black grapes spill onto a delicate porcelain plate, their clustered forms exuding a natural opulence. The twisting vine, reaching upward like a sculptural relic, adds an element of wild elegance, while the surrounding leaves, tinged with autumnal hues, remind us of the inevitable change of seasons. Titorenkov’s exquisite use of light and shadow heightens the depth of this composition—the grapes shimmer under soft illumination, each one a study in transparency and reflection. The intricate blue patterns of the plate lend an air of timeless refinement, grounding the composition in a sense of tradition. Against the stark darkness of the background, the fruit and its organic details stand out with mesmerizing clarity. This painting is more than a depiction of fruit; it is a testament to nature’s richness, to the beauty of growth and decay, and to the fleeting, yet eternal, nature of the harvest. Still Life with Grapes speaks of abundance, nostalgia, and the simple pleasures of the earth’s bounty.
