The White Roses

The White Roses

£220.00

oil on panel

unframed

A small study of white roses emerging from a muted grey ground, painted loosely in layers of oil paint and broken, gestural marks.

I wanted to keep the flowers only just held together, allowing some areas to remain suggestive and unresolved. Soft whites, greens and occasional flashes of pink sit against the cooler background, with the darker vase anchoring the composition beneath them.

The White Roses is an original oil painting on 6 mm MDF board, measuring 18 × 24 cm. Created as part of my Artist Support Pledge work and sold unframed.

Add To Cart

Artist Support Pledge gives me a space to make small, more experimental works alongside my main studio practice.

These paintings are an opportunity to work a little more freely: to follow ideas, explore different techniques and allow some pieces to remain looser and less resolved. I’m particularly interested in how very little can sometimes be needed to suggest a landscape, a sense of place or an atmosphere.

Each piece is priced in keeping with the Artist Support Pledge and released individually as it is finished, rather than as part of a formal collection.

ASP works are released first on Instagram. Any pieces still available will then be added here.

What is Artist Support Pledge?

Artist Support Pledge is a global initiative founded by artist Matthew Burrows to encourage artists and collectors to support one another. Artists offer work for no more than £220, plus postage, and every time £1,100 of sales is reached, they pledge to spend £220 on work by another artist.

It is a simple idea built around generosity, collecting and supporting the wider artist community.
