Artist: Juliette Gjersoe - WESTVILLE


Very few artists are as enthusiatic as Juliette is when it comes to embracing exhibition themes!! One mention of the phrase "Renaissance - Recalling the Age of Antiquity", immediately set her to work - and that work was not just 'painting' per se, but researching what and how to paint the subject matter at hand - Juliette looked to the Old Masters for inspiration and technique in palette and application.... "by Jove - I think she's got it!!"

see top oil - Single Rose - 500mm x 250mm - the light and beauty of the rose pervades the darkness














above : oil - Yellow Orchids - 600mm x 350mm, again a beautiful piece which seems to pull itself out of the shadows;
and Apples on a Plate - an oil - 350mm x 600mm......the antique plate sets the tone...




Three Eggs - an oil 500mm x 500mm...an 'out of the box' application???
Below...the piece de resisitance - Nude Youth 1475 - oil - 500mm x 400mm : detail from the fresco at the Vatican Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo
