Francis Sills
Modified Shift, Abstract Botanical Still Life, Yellow, Green Flowers on Table

2021

About the Item

An abstract rendering of a floral arrangement with bright yellow flowers and verdant leaves and stems in shades of green is vibrant and lush against a gray background. Signed on recto, signed, dated and titled on verso. Framed in thin, light natural wood float frame. Francis Sills’ paintings are grounded in the perceptual-based, realist tradition. The artist works directly from observation in nature. In dealing with the intricacies and challenges of working from observation and the sustained experience of intense, visual scrutiny, the artist comes to understand and know his world. Sills’ paintings are dense and subtle, revealing specific nuances of color, light, and form. Often, the underlying geometry and architecture of the composition are apparent in the application of paint, the artist’s analytic thinking about structure and his methodology still evident in the finished work. Sills’ most recent series of paintings and drawings depict the evolving landscape of his garden and home in South Carolina. The work is at once personal and universal, an observed world of nature, home and family. Francis Sills earned an MFA from Parsons School of Design, New York, NY and a BFA from Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY. His work has been exhibited widely throughout the United States. The artist lives and works in South Carolina.
