Description: Greenhill Galleries is pleased to announce an upcoming exhibition of refined still-life works by Sydney based artist, CRISPIN AKERMAN.
Still life painting both directs and captures the gaze. Worn enamel jugs and bowls suggest a human presence; books and autumn leaves speak of the passing of time. The decorative and architectural balance implied in these forms also carries with it the notion of unbalance and chaos, as if something is about to happen. This is what is interesting about the genre, the contemplative potential in it, the suggestion of the kinetic in the static, the metaphysical promise present in the very words, 'still life'.
