WILLIAM MALHERBE | A Harmony of Colour
Signed 'William Malherbe' (lower right)
Oil on Canvas
51 x 40.5 cms / 20 x 16 inches
A Harmony of Colour captures Malherbe's refined sensitivity to colour and atmosphere. Painted with confident, expressive brushwork, the composition centres on a vibrant bouquet of poppies, daisies and summer blooms arranged in a simple glass vase. Malherbe balances rich pinks, yellows and whites against a cool blue ground, creating a gentle tension between warmth and calm. The loose, impressionistic handling allows colour to take precedence over strict form, giving the work a sense of freshness.
Aris Raissis was born in Cairo in 1962 and is of Greek origin. He studied at The Chelsea School of Fine Art and The Byam Shaw School of Fine Art and graduated in 1985. During his years at art college he concentrated on figurative painting, portraiture and still-life.
From early on, the artist’s aim has always been to reinstate the techniques of the Old Masters, whilst at the same time, selecting contemporary subject matter. His fascination for expressionism and realism is reflected in his work as a whole.
