Chris Kettle
Artist's Statement:
"Still Life has been around for centuries but is often overlooked
as it often deals with pure study or measured painting of form. I am
interested in presenting paintings that somehow convey human emotion,
or 'Animism', - the attribution of a living soul onto an inanimate
object. My recent work draws inspiration from old masters,
particularly 17th century Dutch Still life painters such as Jan
Davidsz. De Heem."
