When Life is Still / watermelon and cherries - Magic Realism

2017

About the Item

Still Life with Watermelon and Cherries - Magic Realism still life oil painting in neutral grey with white and red. Larger than life cherries and sliced watermelon set the traditional scene that is at once sophisticated, life-like, and mysterious. Stephen Namara's paintings, drawings and mixed media works are masterfully rendered, emotional and raw. Best known for his drawings and paintings of people, objects and landscapes, Stephen Namara's images are often “snap shots” of moments in his life. They speak to us without the need for words, while offering space for viewers to experience their own reactions. The important late career artist has exhibited and is collected worldwide. The acrylic painting is signed front and verso, and is in excellent condition.
