Artwork Description

Oil on metal

Signed on the front.

This artwork comes with an external frame

I painted it for my wife, when we were married 40 years (2005) but she finds it too precious to ware, besides she does not ware much jewellery anymore and it is in fact too small to hang on a wall. There are other ways to display it e.g. a display cabinet of precious curiosities, which we do not have anymore. (Just have enough room in our place since we shifted to a much smaller place in Qld.) The base and frame It is guaranteed 18ct gold, from about 1900, and weight 10.7 gr.

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.
