Still lifes are perhaps one of the oldest forms of painting, dating back to painting in the tombs of ancient Egyptians. This style of art has continued to evolve over generations and remains ever-popular in the works of modern-day artists. Such permanence is not surprise, as still lifes allow the artistic freedom to bring life and aesthetic beauty to inanimate objects using value, color and, most importantly, imagination.

Bluprint’s First Friday Fine Art Gallery:
Study in Still Life
For the June First Friday Fine Art Gallery, we want to focus on still life paintings, the timeless style that often champions the artistic over the representational and breathes life into the lifeless. Never limited by medium, these works run the spectrum from oil to acrylic to watercolor. So many talented artists in the Bluprint community have contributed their still life works to the project gallery. Browse this gallery to see some of our many favorite still life works — and perhaps find some creative inspiration of your own!
