Foraged FruitsOil on Gesso Panel16 x 11.5 cms / 6¼ x 4½ inchesSigned 'Stewart Lees' (lower right)Description
Foraged Fruits by Stewart Lees celebrates the abundance of the hedgerow, transforming a simple gathering of raspberries, blackberries and other freshly picked fruits into a jewel-like still life. Set against a deep, dark background, the brilliant reds and purples of the berries are heightened by the transparency of the glass dish and the delicate reflections across its surface. Lees is known for his meticulously observed still-life paintings, often finding inspiration in food, herbs and the everyday ingredients that surround him. His work combines remarkable technical precision with a genuine affection for his subjects, elevating the familiar into something worthy of prolonged attention.
