About the Item
In this contemporary oil painting on canvas, an inviting interior scene is set with a still life arrangement of flowers in glass vases beside a green pear and an peach fruit bowl on a table against an intricately patterned botanical wallpaper with flowers and birds. Signed, dated and titled on verso.
Pastoral and bucolic still life settings emerge from Melanie Parke's life. The artist reconstructs familiar interiors and filters them through the ideology of memory. Her subjects often center on flowers, birds, decorative objects, gardens and domestic settings with an intent in creating safe places for pleasure. Parke utilizes sentiment to craft a domestic locus and seek visual lushness by alternating tonal moods and vivid ornamentation.
Painting is a pleasure-seeking process and abstraction a vehicle with which to think and begin. Melanie Parke sets up the space intuitively, in broad and textured gestures, then pieces together arrangements to compose a homespun narrative. Specific interiors and landscapes are implied. Shifting the emphasis to pattern, texture and tone, she works to destabilize notions of exacting representation. This is an effort to build on a sensation of memory which conjures both comfort and longing.

Melanie Parke
Melanie Parke’s imagery of rustic kitchen tables, dish shelves, entryways and window nooks congregate to suggest snug gathering spots and welcome respites of interiority.
Set up with recognizable still life identifiers — a stem casually placed in a glass jar, fruit loosely strewn on a table top, ceramic tumblers or a teapot — a convivial human presence is noted, not through bodies but close narratives between objects. Proximities between a window and its reflection on the table top establishes that light is the main character. Refractions move across a surface and the effect makes a chimera of things — a mutation — lifting the weight of the familiar into a fresh reverie.
A room’s pitch can be read through highly decorated floral patterns or tonal color fields shifting slightly to enliven or quiet the mood. Whether euphoric or contemplative, every perspective leads to a preoccupation of chasing light.
Cézanne’s idea of passing through objects is something Parke thinks about a lot. Even when her pattern engages a seemingly uniform plane, transparencies never end, pass through walls, and keep the eye going.
Parke’s paint handling varies from multilayered to wet on wet, always textured, always nuanced.

Large Floral Still Life Contemporary Impressionist Painting - Harvest Flowers
By Kellie Newsome
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Georgia-based artist Kellie Newsome specializes in dynamic and abstracted still-life artworks. Her expressive style emphasizes line structure, creating vibrant paintings that celebrate intricate details. By skillfully applying layers of texture, Newsome brings forth paintings that exude depth and vitality.
This one-of-a-kind 30-inch high by 40-inch wide mixed-media artwork on canvas is wired and ready to hang. It is signed by the artist on the front and back of the artwork. It comes with a certificate of authenticity from the art gallery. Free delivery is available for those in the local Los Angeles area. Affordable worldwide shipping is available for U.S. and international art collectors.
Newsome says about this series of artwork: “Transparent Petals, a new series, where there is a new focus on a closer view of a few intricate and delicate flowers. I am pushing acrylic paint to create transparent layers and opaque stiffness, searching to celebrate the spaces between each petal and the light that illuminates each flower. Details are made with pencil, charcoal, and acrylic spray paint in hopes to achieve an ambient glow of life with a loose but bold structure.”
Born in Columbus, Georgia, and raised on a small farm in Alabama, Newsome's love for flora and fauna shines through in her work. Her art practice received sponsorship from Chroma's Atelier Interactive brand of paint while she attended Troy University. Today, her artworks are exhibited at art galleries such as Artspace Warehouse Los Angeles and art fairs across the USA. They are collected across the United States and beyond.
