Lorna Sinclair's "Oranges and Mangoes Still Life" presents a vibrant celebration of colour and form through a traditional subject rendered with contemporary flair. This oil on canvas work (48 x 48 cm framed) juxtaposes a rich crimson table supporting a wooden bowl of golden fruit against an azure blue background, creating a striking visual harmony. White chrysanthemums with their feathery petals and bright orange centres float dreamlike above the composition, their green stems rendered with loose, expressive brushstrokes. Sinclair employs a bold, almost Fauvist approach to colour, allowing the vivid oranges and yellows of the fruit to sing against the deep red surface, while delicate drips of paint visible in the floral elements reveal the artist's process and add a contemporary sensibility to this timeless subject.
Bringing Nature Indoors
When displayed in a living space, "Oranges and Mangoes Still Life" transforms the environment with its joyful energy and sensory richness. The square format creates a perfect focal point, while the balanced composition offers visual interest from any viewing distance. The painting bridges traditional still life conventions with modern expressionist techniques, making it versatile enough to complement both contemporary and classic interiors. The work invites viewers to pause and appreciate the everyday beauty of fresh fruit and flowers—objects that carry cultural significance across time and place—rendered through Sinclair's distinctive vision and confident handling of oil paint. This piece brings a splash of Mediterranean warmth and Scottish artistic innovation to any wall it graces.
