Description from the seller
In this still life, Will Eggen brings together a collection of everyday objects, including glass bottles, a teapot, and a striking dark cage or cabinet. The work is painted loose and translucent, with soft blue, brown, and beige tones. The objects overlap each other and almost fill the entire picture plane, making the still life feel vivid while preserving its calm atmosphere. Especially the play of light and color makes ordinary household objects stand out. This aligns well with Eggen’s broader oeuvre, in which familiar objects from his environment often serve as the starting point.
Will Eggen (Willem Hendrik Eggen) was born in 1935 in Heerlen and was a Dutch painter who became best known for his still lifes and portraits. In his work, looking carefully was central: objects, light, color, and composition were studied and developed meticulously. He had a strong interest in traditional craftsmanship and liked to paint simple and sometimes old-fashioned objects, such as bottles, jugs, musical instruments, and toys. His work is characterized by both restraint and stillness, as well as rich and sometimes powerful use of color.
Dimensions: 72 x 52 cm
Dimensions with frame: 86 x 67 cm
