Artwork Description

Oil on wood, ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

This artwork comes with an external frame

This is an original art work and was inspired when my teacher came over from the Netherlands, and we both did the same subject from two different angles. We did not sell the painting possibly for nostalgia sake, and it had pride in our previous bigger home. The crab did smell a lot after 6 days and we knew we had to paint that part first, the silver topped claret jug I sold to an antique dealer in Sydney, The books suggest that learning the fine arts is centuries old, and the bread with the knife is a sign that artists do not make a lot of money unless they become a Brand on their own. If you like this painting, would you please leave a 'favorite' sign, thank you.

All art by Jos Kivits

The feeling of holding something in your hands that is hundred of years old, like the pewter and the ceramic Japanese vase, gives me a feeling of agelessness. It vibrates through my entire body and to spend weeks painting something like this climaxes to an explosion in my imagination. A painting of this calibre is and always will be an eye catcher when people realise it has not been created with shortcuts and tricks, but genuinely by discipline and artistry without smoke and mirrors. It is a work I cannot get away from as it is in my soul to paint what every eye can see without the help of any kind of trickery or Painted in 2005 and several times perfected and varnished over the years. This very work has never been exhibited, although one similar depicting different objects was revealed in Jos’ 2018 exhibition.

The style and technique is considered ‘Classical European’ and first exposed to Australia by some well-known earlier artists like Hans Heysen, Arthur Streeton, & Besie Davidson.
