DescriptionGarlic and Clay Pots on the Shelf by Stewart Lees is a poetic still life rooted in observation. First begun on the Gladwell & Patterson stand at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025 and later completed in the artist's studio, this painting reflects Lees's deep affinity with horticultural life. Weathered terracotta, papery garlic skins and softly falling light create an atmosphere of rustic calm, captured with meticulous brushwork and a gently burnished palette. Lees transforms everyday kitchen and garden objects into moments of reverence, inviting the viewer to pause and savour the beauty of things well-used and well-loved.
