About the Item
This delicately rendered still life painting presents the viewer with a collection of objects to contemplate. Four sea shells of varying shape and size and a water bottle are arranged atop a reflective lacquer tray all set against a bright red backdrop. The differing textures and patterns are a feast for the eyes. The smooth surface of the water bottle reflects the luscious red backdrop. The intricate pattern of the cone shell is juxtaposed against the soft opalescence of the largest shell in the collection. The two small shells are beautifully reflected in the lacquered tray upon which all items sit and complete the serene setting.
This artwork is framed. The framed dimensions are H 15x W 12 inches.

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.
