Sail and Nike, Still Life with Toy Boat and Winged Victory, Silver Leaf and Oil
About the Item
Gorgeous hand applied silver leaf warms the background of this still life. A toy boat and a replica of Nike - the Winged Victory Sculpture in the Louvre - are the subject of this small painting. The two pieces are richly painted and are reflected on the highly polished mahogany table. This masterful painting by Helen Oh evokes warm summer days and walks across the beach. This artwork is framed in a simple rich walnut wood frame measuring 15.25h x 12.25w inches.

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.

- Contemporary Still Life with Alexander The Great Bust and Orange Apple iBookBy Andrew S. ConklinLocated in Chicago, ILStill Life painting, with origins dating back to the 16th century, often depicts simple everyday objects. Conklin sets his composition with both antiquities and modern elements to bring the Still Life genre into the contemporary. Yet when a closer look is taken, his modern elements are already obsolete by today's standards. The ancient bust of Alexander is placed next to an iBook begging to ask the question - what will stand the test of time?? The piece is framed in a simple walnut frame measuring 26 x 26 inches.
