Brass Vase, Magnolia and Red Grapes

This masterful still life study by Garry Morrow is rendered in a way in which achieves the guise of a classical realism painting. Formal elements are laced together with lavishly attentive brushstrokes so that the artist can convey the attractive possibilities of simple object arrangements with the uppermost detail. The consideration in the treatment of this composition is combined with a naturalistic colour scheme. Fruit, flowers and the vessels with which they are placed in are presented with striking shadows and highlights which illuminate them in a way that makes them sing. This contemporary artwork maintains a dialogue with traditional painting which pertains to the artist’s virtuous efforts in indicating the true to life beauty of still life scenes. This piece is painting in oils on canvas, delicately hand signed by the artist in the bottom right corner, and ready to be hung.
