About the Item
We offer complimentary worldwide shipping and cover all tariffs and import taxes for this artwork. This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. This original oil on canvas by Christopher Witchall showcases the artist’s mastery of realism through a still life of lemons arranged in a white ceramic bowl.
Painted with remarkable control, the work embraces a contemporary realist approach, focusing on surface, light, and spatial clarity. The lemons appear freshly picked, their textured skins catching the light with subtle highlights, while the leaves introduce a gentle organic movement. Witchall’s handling of oil paint is smooth and deliberate, allowing the forms to feel solid yet unforced.
The palette is restrained and elegant: vibrant yellows glow against a dark, almost velvety background, while soft whites and muted greys ground the composition. This contrast heightens the luminosity of the fruit, giving the painting a quiet intensity. The overall effect is contemplative and refined—an understated celebration of colour, balance, and stillness.
Artist biography:
Christopher Witchall studied fine art painting in York (York School of Art) and Lancaster (Preston Polytechnic) in the 1970s and has continued to paint and regularly exhibit. He became a full time professional artist in 2010, after a long, successful and happy career as a curator, gallery manager and gallery owner. Christopher Witchall’s paintings are a celebration of the beauty and power of the natural world in stunning realism. He considers nature to have never been a more important and appropriate subject for art as it is today. His main preoccupations are landscape, particularly forest and undergrowth, and the colours and movement of the sea – a movement frozen in time between an ancient past and an endless future. The paintings are a combination of the artist’s passion for nature, a love of traditional painting techniques and a fascination with the photographic image, resulting in works that are both painterly and highly realistic.
