Mary-Jane Alexander | The Mosaic Tablecloth

Mary-Jane Alexander — The Mosaic Tablecloth

Mary-Jane Alexander is a painter born in Zimbabwe who has lived and worked in the UK since 1977, now based in Surrey. Classically trained in anatomy, life drawing and sculpture, she is known for her rich, confident impasto brushwork and vivid, dramatic use of colour, dividing her time between Surrey and a studio in Campania, in the south of Italy.

The Mosaic Tablecloth is a joyful, richly patterned interior still life, built around a hand-painted mosaic-effect checked cloth in blue, pink and coral. A blue and ochre jug, a bowl of ripe tomatoes, a white and blue patterned vase of mixed wildflowers, and a scatter of lemons are arranged across the surface, each rendered in Alexander's characteristically thick, textured oil paint.

Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
