About this artwork
This painting speaks of light. the light coming in through the window. light on the heads of girls. the light on the table and the light affecting the different shades of white.
Like so many paintings by James MacKeown, light seems paramount.
A girl near a window.
In this case, the girl is at the table, a teapot glowing in the morning light catches the surface of the shiny tiled table and is reflected in the room.
The paint is applied vividly… but thoughtfully with a soft, elevated touch that flows through the paint in harmony.
The young girl, bathed in light, seems to shine with youth, reflecting in the green spring sun.

« Intimate, with an eye on the privacy of everyday life enhanced through color and silence. A calm and restful life. »
James MacKeown is an award-winning figurative artist living in France whose paintings are featured annually in solo exhibitions nationally, as well as in England, Ireland, and Switzerland. Through his art, he endeavors to convey the sublime in the intimacy of everyday and private life. The apparent improvisation in his works is in reality the result of an extreme and refined elaboration; the palette of colors meticulously constructed with soft gradients combined with a gentle touch. As such, MacKeown identifies as a "painter of intimacy". While he occasionally depicts surrealist subjects, they also follow his particular vision and philosophy of daily life.
