Honey and Porcelain #2 (Framed)

This meticulously observed and skillfully rendered still life invites us to pause and reflect on the inherent beauty of the quotidian objects that surround us in our day to day lives.

Vividly life-like and studied with great intensity, this oil painting captures the form, value, colour, textures and reflections of its subjects in a way which asks us to pause and consider them through a lens of renewed clarity. In a world perpetually ‘switched on’ to technology and each other, this work honours the tactile and the tangible; the essence of that which surrounds us in the physical world.

Casey Thornton is a figurative realist oil painter from regional Western Australia, with a keen interest in the techniques used by the old masters. Her keenly observed and highly detailed works aim to capture an authentic representation of the world, and invite a quiet moment of pause, introspection and welcome respite from a constantly ‘switched on’ world.

Thornton studied a Bachelor of Humanities (Fine Art) at Curtin University, and in recent years has studied at The Art Academy in Adelaide. Her artworks are held in private collections across Australia and overseas, and one piece has been selected for inclusion in ‘The Nova Collection’ lunar time capsule.
