- Lot Description
Simon Bull (British-born in 1958, became American citizen in 2011). "Jan's Garden" - a hand-painted giclee on canvas, 2013. Hand-signed in ink by the artist on lower right. Numbered 241/350 on the verso. A beautiful garden view by Simon Bull, featuring a lovely trio of red-leafed trees at the center of the composition, surrounded by bright blossoms delineated in a pointillist manner and a rainbow of hues. Bull was born in England where the art of floral gardens reigns supreme, but the colors of the landscape are relatively subdued - limited to greens, blues, and browns. Interestingly, it was the work of American artist Georgia O'Keeffe that inspired Bull to employ a more brilliant color palette as we see in this piece. In his words, "Flowers have always been important to me because they're colorful, and I like color." Size of artwork: 20" L x 20" W (50.8 cm x 50.8 cm) Size of frame: 26" L x 26" W (66 cm x 66 cm)
Simon Bull earned a BA in Fine Art with honors from Leeds Polytechnic in 1980. He studied under Norman Webster and Norman Ackroyd. In addition to beautiful floral compositions and landscapes like this example, Bull was invited to create a series of paintings celebrating Muhammed Ali in 2007 - and in 2009, Muhammad Ali commissioned Bull to paint portrait of President Barack Obama. According to the artist's website, "His two joint portraits of Barack Obama and Muhammad Ali were unveiled at the Kentucky Bluegrass Ball on the eve of the Presidential Inauguration in Washington DC by actress Ashley Judd."
