Lot description
Mixed media on paper - Signed & dated 1993 The centrepiece of this painting is a vivid white jug, decorated with a European inspired floral design. Set on the grass, it is crisply framed by the surrounding hills. By applying a uniformly sharp focus to this composition, Binney has instilled a sense of hyperrealism in the work. Although famous for his bird paintings, Binney’s range was diverse and included landscapes, figures, and still life paintings. In the case of Remuera Jug, however, he hasn’t fully detached from his favourite subject. Looking closely, the vase’s stylised blue leaves give way to a neat illusion: the form of an elegant swooping bird.
