Artwork Description

Acrylic on linen, ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

This artwork comes with an external frame

Drawing on my previous paintings of still life elements set against void-like grounds, this painting proposes a contemplation on our connection to the home, nature, humanity and our environment. Still life asks us to stop and consider the world anew. It urges us to look closely and observe.

The black depth wraps itself around this domestic scene acting like a comforting dream-like embrace. The heightened psychedelic colours, bring to mind scenes from the Wizard of Oz, hence the title, and the strange tales of Alice in Wonderland. It’s to question our reality and how we all perceive things differently. These fantastical colours illustrate that there is magic everywhere, we just need to look.

Banksias in a silver ornate metal vessel casting a shadow on a wooden tableStill life contrasts with our lives today which are dynamic, moving and constantly shifting, so there is definitely a strange irony in my work. I’m trying to suspend time, but it is still a reminder of our mortality, transience, and that things will fade and pass. Time becomes precious.(CreativeWork) Nautilus and petunia by Melissa Hartley.
