Miami Beach - Porsche 911-original realism still life painting-contemporary Art
Located in London, Chelsea
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. "MIAMI BEACH - Porsche 911" by Fabriano transports viewers to the vibrant streets of Miami Beach, where the iconic red Porsche 911 stands as a symbol of luxury and elegance. This original still life painting, created with oil on canvas, captures the essence of sophistication and excitement synonymous with this iconic car and its glamorous surroundings.
At the heart of the composition is a striking portrayal of a red Porsche 911, depicted with breathtaking photo-realism. Every curve and contour of the car is meticulously rendered, from the sleek lines of its body to the gleaming shine of its paintwork. Against the backdrop of Miami Beach, with its palm trees swaying in the ocean breeze, the Porsche exudes an aura of exclusivity and allure, evoking the thrill of a leisurely drive along the sun-soaked coastline.
The color palette of the piece is dynamic and vibrant, with bold shades of red and blue capturing the vibrant energy of Miami Beach, while earthy tones ground the scene in a sense of warmth and familiarity. These colors come together to create a visually captivating tableau that immerses viewers in the excitement of the Miami lifestyle.
Signed by the artist, "MIAMI BEACH - Porsche 911" is more than just a painting—it is a celebration of luxury, style, and the allure of exotic locales. Whether displayed in a gallery or a private collection, this artwork is sure to captivate and inspire.

The Tulips, Art Deco Still Life Oil on Canvas of Tulips in a Vase in an Interior
Located in Cotignac, FR
French Art Deco still life of a vase of tulips in an interior by Auguste Mallard. The painting is signed bottom right and presented in a period patinated wood frame.
A colourful and strong painting of an interior view, a table with books and as the centre piece a beautiful blue ceramic vase with twisted handles holding a magnificent bouquet of brightly coloured tulips. Mallard has captured the abandon of the blooms in the vase, the way tulips twist and furl raising and lowering their beautiful colourful petals. The colours of the flowers really stand out against the more muted tones of the background, curtain and table. A very elegant and stylish painting.
This painting has the feel of some of the still life works from the same period by Tamara de Lempicka who was a contemporary of Mallard painting...

19th Century still life oil painting of fruit & flowers in a basket
By Edward Ladell
Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
Edward Ladell
British, (1821–1886)
Still Life of Fruit & Flowers in a Basket
Oil on canvas, signed with monogram
Image size: 13.5 inches x 11.75 inches
Size including frame: 20.75 inches x 19 inches
An exquisitely painted still life of roses and fruit by Edward Ladell. Pink and yellow rose blooms are depicted with black and white grapes and a pear on a marble topped table. Behind them, a basket of fruit containing plums and a nectarine can also be seen.
Edward Ladell was born in Hasketon, Suffolk on 12 April, 1821 the son of Christmas Ladell a coachbuilder and his wife Mary Birch. He was a self-taught artist and initially worked in his father’s business in Colchester as an engraver. He is also believed to have worked as a pattern designer for a Flemish textile company in Colchester.
In 1848 he married Julianna Roofe and they spent their married life living at East Hill in Colchester. During his spare time he began producing still life paintings in the Dutch traditions and in 1856 made his debut at the Royal Academy with a ‘Study from Nature’. He also exhibited at the British Institute from 1857 and the Royal Society of British Artists from 1858.
Ladell’s exposure at the London galleries began earning him commissions and by 1861, he had become a full time artist. He was highly successful in his lifetime, earning many commissions and commanding high prices for his work. He became one of the best known still life painters of his generation.
During the late 1860’s, after the death of his first wife and child, he began teaching art. One of his pupils was Ellen Maria Levett who he later married in 1878 and together they had a son. His wife Ellen Ladell...

Still life with a Chinese bowl by Jean Grimal
By Jean Grimal
Located in Gent, VOV
Jean Grimal is a true 20th century discovery. This breathtaking piece is a gorgeous example of his mastery as an artist. He beautifully creates chiaroscuro in this painting. The way the light touches the edges of the Chinese bowl and the grapes is an example of his skill in representing light.
Jean Grimal (1942-1998) was born in the town of Tulle, France in 1942. Jean’s family moved to Paris when he was 8 years of age. After receiving a classical French education with studies in Latin and Greek, Jean Grimal entered the University to receive his Baccalaureate. He then attended Claude Barnard School for three years, when he received his Art Degree. Upon completion Grimal taught art for seven years. As Grimal’s own interest in formal painting and art began to possess him, the artist’s destiny changed.
In 1967 Jean Grimal stepped aside from teaching and pursued a career in professional painting and working as an illustrator in advertising. As an advertising illustrator, Grimal worked with Lise Goldfard for more than 25 years at Studio 44 where they collaborated with major and important accounts, such as: Air France, Christofle, Peugeot, Lacoste, to name a few. At the same time he began presenting his formal paintings to galleries in Paris and Cannes, France and in London and Windsor, England. Much to his surprise, Grimal found that his paintings were sought after by major art galleries and collectors throughout Europe. After a number of years of being an important and successful art illustrator for these major accounts, he found himself having to choose between the two. Fortunately for collectors, he chose to dedicate his life to the classical style of painting. Jean looked at the simplest things in life through a microscope, where he could take the simplest object and depict the age of the fruit or the leaf.
Jean Grimal received great pleasure from his work and painted for over thirty years. As his style matured and became ever more perfect Jean Grimal truly reached the pinnacle of his career. The artist’s methods were particularly distinguished when measured against his peers. Grimal’s painting skill was distinctive and exceptional.
Jean Grimal was known for his realistic trompe l’oeil and still life paintings. The artist would carefully arrange the objects to form a satisfying composition. By painting every shadow, highlight, and reflection within each composition Grimal brought mundane subjects to life. His tight rendering combined with his attention to light and detail allowed him to blur the lines between illusion and reality, truly making his works one of a kind. Grimal’s trompe l’oeil paintings consist of intricate compositions of cards, envelopes, photographs, paper of different materials and weights, backs of canvases, images of other artists’ works, kitchen utensils, pistols, and more. Grimal had a talent for mastering these illusions that deceive the eye in his trompe l’oeil paintings.
No matter what genre Grimal was painting, tight, unperceivable brushwork characterizes his work. The artist painted every crease and crinkle, every shadow and highlight, every detail. By doing so, he was able to capture each individual surface texture of the objects in his paintings. Grimal was also fabulous at depicting light in his paintings- often contrasting strong lights with strong darks, creating chiaroscuro modeling.
His still life paintings are reminiscent of Dutch seventeenth century...
