Artwork Description

Oil on wood, ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

This artwork comes with an external frame

Original oil painting, painted without any currently used shortcuts. Strong classic composition of items or props not standing alone, every item stands in front or behind another. No color is isolated even when dominant red (of the water melon) is cooled down by the green and blue surrounding it. Nothing is breaching the classic rules, yet it is contemporary. Because this here you are looking at on your computer is a photo of the actual painting, one cannot enjoy the magic created by the transparent layers build up to receive the ultimate illusion of depth the original has. This unique experience cannot be photographed.

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.
