This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. This original oil on canvas painting by Christopher Witchall presents a quietly confident still life, where everyday fruit is elevated through clarity, balance, and restraint. Rendered in a contemporary realist style, the composition focuses on a deep blue bowl filled with ripe peaches, one carefully cut open to reveal its golden flesh. Witchall’s use of oil paint allows for subtle transitions between light and shadow, capturing the velvety skin of the fruit and the gentle weight of the bowl resting on the surface. The setting is minimal, drawing attention to form, texture, and proportion rather than narrative. The colour palette is both fresh and controlled: warm peach and amber tones sit against a cool turquoise-green background, while the rich blue of the bowl anchors the composition. This contrast creates a sense of calm precision, allowing the softness of the fruit to stand out without excess detail. The result is a timeless still life that feels considered, luminous, and quietly elegant. 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.
