Artwork Description

Oil on wood, ready to hang.

Signed certificate of authenticity.

This artwork comes with an external frame

Strongly influenced by the 17th Century Dutch masters. The only physical prop used was the Nautilus shell among many in my possession, not much different to the end result in this picture. The statuette, ceramic ribbed bowl, Persian rug and everything else were purely imaginary from mind-to-brush.

Medium

The paint medium is a recipe from the old masters, which was passed on to me by mine. The whole painting has multiple layers of paint on pre-gesso compound wood.

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.
