Francis Sills
Summer Garden I, Botanical, Palms, Green Plants, Red Flowers, Backyard

2017

About the Item

This colorful painting of plants and flowers in a backyard is from Francis Sills' 2017 series of Flora Paintings. The verdant shades of green are punctuated by the warmer tones of the blossoms and the red plant in the corner. The vivid hues of this botanical still life are depicted in lush oil paint. Signed on recto and verso. Francis Sills’ paintings are grounded in the perceptual-based, realist tradition. The artist works directly from observation in nature. In dealing with the intricacies and challenges of working from observation and the sustained experience of intense, visual scrutiny, the artist comes to understand and know his world. Sills’ paintings are dense and subtle, revealing specific nuances of color, light, and form. Often, the underlying geometry and architecture of the composition are apparent in the application of paint, the artist’s analytic thinking about structure and his methodology still evident in the finished work. Sills’ most recent series of paintings and drawings depict the evolving landscape of his garden and home in South Carolina. The work is at once personal and universal, an observed world of nature, home and family. Francis Sills earned an MFA from Parsons School of Design, New York, NY and a BFA from Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY. His work has been exhibited widely throughout the United States. The artist lives and works in South Carolina.
