Forbes Yule, Saint Paulia & Pears

Forbes Yule (Scottish b. 1928) – Saint Paulia and Pears

A striking mixed media still life by the Scottish artist Forbes Yule, Saint Paulia and Pears combines bold colour with a pleasing sense of balance and structure. A flowering saint paulia in a blue pot is set beside a blue vessel and a group of pears, with rich violets, cool blues and fresh yellow-green tones giving the composition its particular charm.

The work has a strong decorative quality, with simplified forms and confident handling that bring warmth and immediacy to the subject. While clearly rooted in the still life tradition, it has a distinctly modern character, making it well suited to both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Presented mounted, framed and under glass, this is an original late 20th century work on paper with a compact square image set within a generous frame. A colourful and well-composed piece that displays beautifully.
