Robin Frisella's Simply Real

The Copley Society of Art is proud to present Simply Real, a collection of 11 pastel works by Robin Frisella. These works will be on display until December 24^th 2015 in the Red Room Gallery. Pulling the inspiration for her works from still lifes, Robin creates each scene with an arrangement of traditional objects, adding fabric, flowers, and fruit to portray a timeless elegance. Robin’s work takes the audience on an observational journey of idyllic smoothness with a delicate touch. 

“I am fascinated with the way light is represented and focus on capturing it in my paintings.”

On White Linen, four objects rest on a piece of linen, set against a black background.  There is a striking contrast between the dark background and the luminous objects placed on the lighter foreground. The way the light hits the objects in the still life give the overall piece a wonderfully, exquisite touch. There is a beautiful play of whites, lights and textures. The objects in the painting are drawn in such a way that looks like true porcelain!
