Perched #3 - original realist oil painting-contemporary wildlife art
By Elizabeth Rickert
Located in London, Chelsea
We offer complimentary worldwide shipping and cover all tariffs and import taxes for this artwork. This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. In Perched #3, Elizabeth Rickert focuses on a single bird resting gracefully atop a stack of timeworn books, creating a moment of quiet observation. Painted in oil on canvas, the artwork combines the precision of wildlife realism with the calm structure of a traditional still-life composition. The bird appears alert yet relaxed, its presence bringing a sense of gentle movement to the otherwise still arrangement. Rickert’s brushwork carefully captures the fine details of the bird’s plumage and the textures of the aged book covers beneath it. Each book feels tactile and familiar, their worn edges and subtle lettering suggesting years of stories and history. The simplicity of the composition allows the viewer to focus on the delicate balance between subject and setting. The colour palette is warm and earthy, with soft reds, mossy greens, muted blues and warm ochres appearing throughout the stacked books. The bird’s feathers introduce striking accents of dark charcoal and glowing orange, providing a vivid focal point within the otherwise calm composition. Executed in oil on canvas, this original artwork highlights Elizabeth Rickert’s talent for combining wildlife realism with intimate storytelling. This original work is available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art and online. Artist Biography: Elizabeth Rickert is an award-winning contemporary realist artist based in the United States whose work is inspired by the quiet poetry of the natural world. Originally trained as a sculptor, she began her artistic career working in ceramics before expanding into drawing and painting. Over time, she explored pastels and eventually transitioned to oil painting, which has become her primary medium. Elizabeth’s background in sculpture continues to influence her artistic approach. Even as a painter, she observes nature with a sculptor’s eye—carefully studying the interplay of shape, form, light, and shadow. This sensitivity to structure and atmosphere is reflected in her compositions, which often feature detailed impressions of birds...

New Horizon, Oil Painting
By Miranda Gamel
Located in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
A stoic portrait of a cheetah looking out over a glowing sunset, with the animal's cool and collected pose amplified by the painterly surroundings. "This piece gives a sense of the calm before the storm - of inner peace," says artist Miranda Gamel. "The cheetah is looking out into the fast landscape, looking for a sign, all while knowing there will be one to find."
About the Artist
The daughter of two artists, Miranda Gamel grew up with artistic aspirations. “When I was young, I couldn’t imagine that I would be anything else… it only seemed natural,” she says. She further developed her skills with her teachers (and fellow UGallery artists) John and Elli Milan. Miranda’s paintings exist on the edge of the surreal and the fantastical while remaining grounded in human emotion. Each painting, through its dynamic imagery, conveys the spirit embodied by the composition’s subject. Miranda’s ultimate goal is to portray each individual “being their true, raw, authentic self.”
