The exhibition is described thus
A selling exhibition of contemporary nonetheless life paintings past times members of the Federation of British Artists, Still Alive showcases an eclectic pick of nonetheless lifes, ranging from the realist to the abstract, all of which utilise shape as well as texture, color as well as tone, to bring the extraordinary essence of everyday objects.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 brusque assay on the nonetheless life genre past times Professor Anthony Savile, King’s College London was too peculiarly commissioned for the exhibition – click here to read it. (I must confess I got a chip lost inwards this - mayhap it needs a 2nd 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 ikon - as well as yet it endures as well as is always pop amongst collectors. 

Some half dozen years agone I started to interrogation nonetheless life ikon inwards reply to a combat virtually it is - which ended upward amongst me writing a postal service for this blog What is a nonetheless life?  I too developed developed a website (Still Life - Resources for Artists) every bit a repository for all the links I could honor online to data virtually 'the nonetheless 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 interrogation I came across an awful lot of nonetheless life paintings past times artists from dissimilar countries as well as dissimilar ages.  As a result, I'm straight off really fond of a adept nonetheless life - but past times the same token, the bar has been raised  from my personal perspective inwards relation to what I shout upward is a adept nonetheless life!

On the whole I honor I prefer paintings past times people who regularly pursue (or pursued)  the fine art of nonetheless life ikon on a regular basis.  That's because it's truly to a greater extent than complicated than it looks to do well. Artfully arranged 'found' objects are my detail 'bete noire'! It's the surest quest I've yet establish of amateur painting.  Those who pigment nonetheless life on a regular footing eventually educate the skills to acquaint an epitome which is constructed to tell a even - as well as nosotros all know that this has happened - or do an organization that is aesthetically pleasing, without whatever pretensions every bit to having only happened on it.  Plus they tin spot a genuine 'found' nonetheless life dependent area at twenty paces!  I'm really fond of those who role it every bit an practise inwards rendering basic shapes, color as well as calorie-free - 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 industrial plant framed for showing inwards a coherent way.  I liked private pieces past times other artists - unopen to of whom I charge per unit of measurement every bit first-class nonetheless life artists - but the ones who I'm highlighting below are the ones who had the most positive demeanour upon on me.
