Sea Shells on an Artist's Palette, Original Oil Painting by Helen Oh

About the Item

An arrangement of four shells lie on a reflective artist's palette. The large conch shell in the center of the painting dominates the space in subtle hues of cream and pink. The rich, dense colors of the background add to the meditative quality of this painting. This artwork is framed in a silver wooden frame measuring H 17.75 x W 21.75 inches. Helen Oh Seashells on Artist's Palette oil on panel 16 H x 20 W in 40.64 H x 50.80 W cm Helen Oh, b. 1962, Seoul, Korea For several years I have been painting seashells, both contemporary and fossilized specimens, some of which are millions of years old. That their designs are virtually unchanged from ancient times to the present points to the perfection of their forms and their incredible adaptability. These sea creatures live a mysterious existence, and after death, provide a vital service to humankind by transforming millions of their discarded shells to calcium carbonate, a key ingredient of concrete. Through these imageries, I hope to connect my audience to nature and issues of marine ecology. To enhance the design of these intricate forms, I painted from direct observation of them, set up before my easel. Helen Oh is a visual artist.
