Still Life, as with any genre, can only be judged on what it evokes. Whilst Hirst may have struggled technically, I think Colin’s rejection of ‘hyper realism’ shows that draughtsmanship alone isn’t the key. As others have noted, Colin’s use of colour to jolt the viewer’s senses sets him apart. As for still life, is there a single great artist who hasn’t ventured here?

So lovely to see some more of Colin’s paintings. I love ‘A pot plant’ and ‘Fruit on a Spsnish plate’ with their vibrant colours. Less ‘still life’ – more ‘bursting with life’! Interesting exploration of Moss’s works, in relation to some other great artists. Thank you.
