The exhibition is described thus
A selling exhibition of contemporary withal life paintings past times members of the Federation of British Artists, Still Alive showcases an eclectic pick of withal lifes, ranging from the realist to the abstract, all of which utilise shape as well as texture, color as well as tone, to select the extraordinary essence of everyday objects.
H5N1 curt essay out on the withal life genre past times Professor Anthony Savile, King’s College London was equally good especially commissioned for the exhibition – click here to read it. (I must confess I got a flake lost inwards this - possibly it needs a mo read?)

Still Life is a curious genre.  It comes as well as goes inwards popularity as well as has never enjoyed the condition of (say) portrait icon - as well as yet it endures as well as is e'er pop amongst collectors. 

Some half dozen years agone I started to query withal life icon inwards answer to a fighting virtually it is - which ended upwards amongst me writing a postal service for this blog What is a withal life?  I equally good developed developed a website (Still Life - Resources for Artists) equally a repository for all the links I could honour online to data virtually 'the withal life' - including
  • a Definition of what it is, 
  • how the genre has developed over fourth dimension and 
  • some feel of the multifariousness which nosotros tin encounter inwards people's artwork today. 
In doing my query I came across an awful lot of withal life paintings past times artists from dissimilar countries as well as dissimilar ages.  As a result, I'm instantly really fond of a expert withal life - but past times the same token, the bar has been raised  from my personal perspective inwards relation to what I intend is a expert withal life!

On the whole I honour I prefer paintings past times people who regularly pursue (or pursued)  the fine art of withal life icon on a regular basis.  That's because it's genuinely to a greater extent than complicated than it looks to do well. Artfully arranged 'found' objects are my item 'bete noire'! It's the surest betoken I've yet industrial plant life of amateur painting.  Those who pigment withal life on a regular solid soil eventually prepare the skills to introduce an epitome which is constructed to tell a even out - as well as nosotros all know that this has happened - or create an scheme that is aesthetically pleasing, without whatever pretensions equally to having merely happened on it.  Plus they tin spot a genuine 'found' withal life dependent area at xx paces!  I'm really fond of those who purpose it equally an practice inwards rendering basic shapes, color as well as low-cal - amongst the dependent area affair beingness somewhat incidental to what is basically an abstracted painting.

Artists included inwards this exhibition at the Mall Galleries this calendar week are listed below - amongst images of artwork from the show.  My preference really much leaned towards those who presented a consistent suite of works framed for showing inwards a coherent way.  I liked private pieces past times other artists - or as well as so of whom I charge per unit of measurement equally fantabulous withal life artists - but the ones who I'm highlighting below are the ones who had the most positive send upon on me.
