About
Jonathan Cooper Park Walk Gallery is pleased to announce a new exhibition of still life and flower paintings by Ben Henriques. The show follows Henriques' recent selection by Brian Sewell for the ING Purchase Exhibition at the Mall Galleries.Henriques paints from life and natural light in the tradition of carefully observed still life painting, splitting his time between his studio on the west coast of Scotland and London.
The new series includes seasonal flowers he has recorded throughout the year, such as Amaryllis, Snowdrops and Tulips, as well as everyday objects that catch his eye, drawn in both cases to the 'sensuality of shape, colour and feel of the object.'
Henriques particularly enjoys the direct and spontaneous response required to capture flowers; 'Everything is in a state of renewal or decomposition. Time and movement are important; they quicken the reaction.'
