This piece is a close-up cropped view of a white tulip found in York Gardens, captured in its final peak of bloom before the petals begin to wilt. The layers of oil glazes create a rich matte texture, to the piece, reminiscent of the velvety feel of the petals. The bold, rich layers of white stand out against the smooth ombre background of deep crimson blending into black. I use minimal pigments in my work, mixing the colours from just a few base colours to create a consistency and complementary palate that is calming, and soothing on the eye. Through my painting I continue to study our connection with natural forms, in particular during times of growing concern and awareness of climate change. This tulip was captured during an unseasonably hot day in Spring 2023, when the flowers in bloom in the iconic York Gardens were ahead of their usual cycle, already beginning to reach the end of their natural life. The piece is framed in a dark wooden frame (see photos) and comes ready to hang. Framed dimensions are 46 x 56 cm, unframed 40 x 50 cm.

Dom Holmes is an emerging British painter and mixed-media artist currently living and working in London. Their work has shown in exhibitions and art fairs across the UK, the US and Europe. Dom’s work is primarily concerned with themes of nature, in particular as a vehicle for exploring spirituality, identity and ego. Their work is constantly developing through different techniques, methods and inspirations. Their oil painting practice evolved from a period of self-directed study beginning in 2017, and has led to their principal focus of traditional fine art methods of painting and print-making, and subverting lowbrow art forms inspired by their career in tattooing and design. Dom’s strong ongoing interests lie in minimal colours, depth and darkness, ego and sensuality. Dom collects images and references from their local environment - from community planters, neighbourhood gardens, open spaces, council-run parks, roadsides and windowsills - and elevates them in extreme close ups against deep, dark backgrounds to highlight the value and importance of local, seasonal wildlife and community in times of climate crisis. Pieces are built up with multiple layers of oil glazes using minimal pigments and tones, culminating in a velvety surface interrupted with purposeful, smooth brush strokes. The close-cropped compositions determine the power and strength held by the subjects often considered soft and delicate. The evolution of the colour schemes and textures is allowed to emerge naturally through the layering of glazes, and subtle abstractions evolve organically from the figurative depiction. The final layers determine and solidify the textures, mood and depth. Dom’s approach to their paintings is inspired by a diverse roster of creatives and movements including Carravagio, Eugene Delacroix, Ernst Haeckel, Hokusai, and Georgia O’Keefe amongst many others. In 2022 Dom was named Most Inspiring Contemporary Artist at the LuxLife Awards. In 2023 their work White Peony won the Audience Choice Award at the Swanfall Art ‘Through the Looking Glass’ exhibition at London’s Mall Galleries.
