GLORIOSA, AN OIL BY JOLOMO
* JOHN LOWRIE MORRISON OBE (JOLOMO),
GLORIOSA
oil on canvas, signed; further signed and titled verso
60cm x 60cm (approximately 24 x 24 inches, image size)
Framed.
Note: Jolomo's large floral still life paintings relatively rarely appear at auction but are enthusiastically sought after by Jolomo collectors. We've never offered a Jolomo still life of this size but "Cornflowers" a 40 x 40cm oil on canvas was sold for £3300 (hammer) - lot 1814 in our auction of 8th April 2014. "Gloriosa" is more than double the size of "Cornflowers" and is a stunning example of the artist's work. Jolomo remains one of Scotland's most celebrated contemporary artists and in The Scottish Contemporary Art Auction of 13th December 2020, lot 717 "Birlinn Leaving the Uists" by Jolomo sold for £7000 (hammrer), one of numerous recent prices which reflect the still growing collector demand from both the UK and abroad in the vibrant work of John Lowrie Morrison.
