Art historian Michael Petry chooses works from Marc Quinn and Sharon Core among his favourite contemporary still lifes
Aaron Alamo uses the typical visual elements of the Baroque Vanitas, adding some contemporary objects, but his message transcends a mere aesthetic, as he plays with our idea of photography and art as eternal elements. His work is a photograph of a photograph taken 10 years ago and treated with humidity and fungus for its prompt decomposition. Aaron's work makes us question the temporality in art and the concept of eternal. Aaron Alamo: “‘Vanitas: Not-so-still Life’, is a project that shows the destruction of a photograph through time. Inspired by traditional vanitas paintings, with elements that are carefully chosen to give them a modern twist: a skull with orthodontist braces, a bucket of KFC, a plastic cup, etc., The original photographs were created in 2008. They were printed on cotton paper and ‘treated’ with humidity and a culture of fungus in a dark place. The process of decay was photographed every year for the next 10 years creating a series of images of decay and transformation. This series demonstrates how nothing is eternal -not even a photograph.” Available sizes: M Unframed 40cm x 60cm L Unframed 60cm x 100cm Limited edition of 10 prints per size. Fine Art Giclée Print on Matte Fibre Hahnemühle Paper 200gr. Unframed. All artworks are originals and come with a signed certificate of authenticity. Insured shipping to your doorstep.

Filipino artist Olan Ventura creates lavish acrylic paintings in the tradition of 17th century Dutch still lifes. Replicating the smallest details of iconic works such as Jan Davidsz de Heem’s Vase of Flowers (c. 1660), Ventura veers off course with striking glitches and drips that shoot off the canvas edges, seeming to pull grapes, lobsters, and roses from the past into the present. A statement on Yavuz Gallery explains that Ventura is interested in identity, technology, popular culture. More

About The Artwork This contemporary still life oil painting, explores the energy and beauty of pattern through color and form. A combination of simplified and more detailed shapes fill the canvas creating a variation of experiences for the viewer to consider with in the context of a "still life". Simple, traditional objects such as a wine glass, wine bottle, plate and lemons are the focus even though they become immersed in the ornamental background. This unique paring stimulates a feeling of disparity as well as connection. This unique still life oil painting has warmth in it's vibrant expression. Visible brushwork is evident in each stroke of paint providing an energy within the piece that is engaging. The artwork was created on a gallery wrapped canvas that is signed and ready for framing.

About In our quick paced culture, we are hyper-stimulated with visual media, which has caused our sense of vision to become blind to many things of incredible loveliness and consequence, such as the extraordinary and exquisite beauty of everyday things, like fruit on a tree, the majesty of a glorious sunset, or the magical transformation of a flower from a bulb. These are the things that artists remind us about, they point the way. I paint flowers and other bits of nature, in part, because I think they are so exquisitely beautiful. The other reasons are more philosophical. We live in a very small and rarified space where the earth is touched by sunlight. Compared to the space of the universe, it is a very small area indeed. This small space has all of the elements necessary to sustain life, and plants are necessary to draw those elements out of the soil and process them into forms that our bodies can use and their splendor feeds our souls. My paintings present their powerful, fragile beauty. I place rounded river stones in my paintings because they are symbols of this rarified planet, and sometimes I stack them like ancient cairns, which have been used for centuries to point the way on a path or journey. I create my paintings with spare compositions because I think that is the best way to present the beauty and importance of my subjects. We live in an artificial and dehumanizing world that is all too often detached from the beauty of nature. In nature there is honesty, elegance and harmony that we do not truly appreciate, but as creatures that are a part of it, we deeply desire connection with it. My paintings freeze moments in time that focus on nature; moments of connection that elevate us.

Artist Lilla Tabasso (previously) traps bouquets and tufts of grass at their most precarious stages of life. From her studio in Milan, she creates delicate glass sculptures of wilting flowers and rough clusters of sod that have just breached their prime, capturing how they elegantly bow and collapse as they decay. “The focus is on the way in which they burst with life and vigor at first bloom until eventually the passage of time inevitably takes its toll,” the artist says.
