A Pleasing Bloom

Contemporary realist painter Colin Wilson has achieved an authentic tangibility in this original still life composition of an apple arrangement. This study is part of an ongoing series in which the artist demonstrates how traditional techniques can be transported into the present to produce refined, modern artworks. With a bold, uncluttered composition, heightened by a striking expanse of negative space. This demonstrates an contemporary mastering of form and balance. Over time, the painting begins to unfurl before the observer, with delicate, sumptuous details slowly emerging. Rich contrasts in highlights and shadows emphasise the textures captured, illusively mirroring the textures of the juicy, exposed flesh in reality. This tantalising scene is minimal and sophisticated. The piece is rendered in acrylic on board, hand signed by the artist and framed, ready to be displayed.
