In Rosemary Valadon’s own words, this new body of still lifes displays “a joy of life, an enthusiasm, a restarting of optimism and expansion, a flow meandering between objects and shadows, the spaces in between. Designed to please the senses – almost touchable, smellable, delectable, light blues and turquoise – the sky, the sea, movement. Orange and reds in contrast. Warmth and juiciness.” A key piece is a tondo representing a complex arrangement of objects from the artist’s studio and home, as well as themes such as nurturance and pleasure.
