Still Life #5 Painting
The bold colors and precise lines of Still Life #5 grab our attention. The heavily textured black paint anchors the painting and is balanced by the dark, but softer, strokes on the top right corner. The softer edges are continued in the light blue tones that melt into the canvas. These soft edges are a sharp contrast to the harsh lines found in the painting’s black texture. Vivid primary colors also grab our attention in both the bottom right and top left corners. The lone secondary color is distinguished from the primary colors by its heavy texture.
From the artist: “With my still life series, I’m stripping back right to the senses by doing the figurative drawings ‘blind’ and in a single line style. Then adding my colours and mark making as I interpret the composition. There’s also symbolism added to the compositions, drawing on influences from 17th Century paintings.”

Hanuman Rescuing Sita Painting

The angle of the trees shows us how high and fast Hanuman moves across the city. The top portion of the painting depicts the city of Lanka on fire.

Born in London, England, Alex Bastable studied art and design throughout school. He explores the still life genre through his contemporary perspective. Alex makes use of various techniques and takes inspiration from expressionism and color field painting. He often works through internal gestures, colliding color with form and figuration. By combining one or more objects of connotation on the canvas, he attempts to subtly capture the pleasant and grittier sides of life.
