Rannunculi in a Glass

'Rannunculi in a Glass' shows Tobias Harrison's ability to capture the beauty of not only the flowers Read more

but the stems and bottle, even the water is delicately rendered. The ranuculus meant, "you are rich in attractions" to the Victorians and Tobias Harrison has painted them in all their heady glory.

Although Tobias Harrison is a contemporary British artist, the delicacy of his brush work and his intelligent use of chiaroscuro lends a timeless quality to his work.

Tobias Harrison paints with heightened realism. Favouring flower and fruit paintings he focuses on the way the light falls and highlights each feature of his subject. He captures the luminosity of each flower and the delicate translucence of the glass vase. Choosing to set the flowers against a plain background with little or no texture only serves to heighten the focus on the flowers themselves. They emerge from a darkened background like jewels.

In addition to Red Rag British Art Gallery Tobias Harrison has exhibited at many other leading British Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Tobias Harrison artist studio and like all Red Rag British art and Contemporary art it can be shipped worldwide.
