Art de Jour - Three Chairs and Plants

During the pandemic, I did a series of daily facts on a random artist I found in this huge coffee table book I have. Each day, I'd flip through and randomly land on a page of an artist I usually have not heard of. I explore the style and most noted artwork that the artist had created and why it was important/revolutionary for its time. I'm going to TRY to bring back Art du Jour leisurely, there's no need to rush art.

I'm starting off with what I had already posted on my Facebook Page, this was the first artist I had posted about:

"Three Chairs and Plants" by Norman Gilbert. Oil on Board, 86 x122cm 2019

It takes Gilbert months to complete these vivid daily scenes depicted by his loved ones. Reminiscence of the 60's psychedelic art, each piece gives the viewer more and more detail to admire the longer you look at it. Norman Gilbert recently passed on December 20 2019 at the youthful age of 93.
