About This Work
In *Spring Flowers*, Mary Fedden distils the quiet radiance of the still life into a poised, modern composition. With her characteristically flattened perspective and confident, economical brushwork, Fedden builds colour in softly opaque passages, allowing tonal contrasts to articulate form without excess detail. The bouquet—at once domestic and emblematic—becomes a study in balance: vase, tabletop and surrounding space read as interlocking planes, recalling the legacy of post-war British painting while nodding to the lyrical clarity of Matisse and the School of London.

A refined example of Mary Fedden’s still-life practice.
