Cressida Campbell Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, Illustrator

Artist Cressida Campbell was born in Sydney, Australia in 1960, and has since become one of the country's most successful artists. While studying at what is now the National Art School, painter Cressida Campbell developed her idea to combine printing and painting, but she wouldn't fully embrace this technique until several years later. Her work plays with colors and shapes through the portrayal of domestic life and tranquil landscapes, and Cressida Campbell still life paintings for sale often incorporate plants, furniture, and everyday decor. 

Artist Cressida Campbell's process involves engraving a woodblock, and then painting it with layers of watercolor, resulting in both an engraving and a mirror-image print. Her work emphasizes aesthetic value and exudes a level of intimacy in looking at subjects from the private sphere. Enjoy the detail and aesthetic beauty of other contemporary still life paintings available at auction and online.

P0303, pp. 83 (illus. woodblock), 347 RELATED WORK Bougainvillea, 2003 (Private collection), watercolour on incised woodblock, in Noordhuis-Fairfax, S. (ed.), Cressida Campbell, National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, 2022, pp. 161 (illus. detail), 239 (illus.) ESSAY Stretching diagonally from a simple glass carafe, a thorny cutting of red bougainvillea hangs above a resplendent Lampas tablecloth of sky blue, patterned with a motif of flowering and fruiting branches. In Bougainvillea, 2003, a unique watercolour print, celebrated printmaker Cressida Campbell has cropped and compressed the picture plane to create a flat surface of pure and harmonious pattern. With only a small handful of vigorous pictorial elements, Campbell’s still life cleverly pits a wild and unruly nature against its smoothed and edited representation in art.   Bougainvillea belongs to a small group of prints and painted woodblocks, created by Campbell in the late 1990s and early 2000s, featuring a decorative still life combination of flowers, fruit, ceramics and luxurious patterned fabrics. Amongst these are some of the artist’s most successful works, including Persimmons and silk, 1997; Nasturtiums, 2002 (Art Gallery of New South Wales); Plums with Indian cloth, 2004, and Ranunculus with painted cloth, 2010. As it had been for Margaret Olley, a longtime friend and supporter of the artist, the visual appeal of one’s own home generates for Campbell both a source of constant pleasure and an endless fount of subject matter. Consequently, almost all of Campbell’s still lives are semi-autobiographical, borne from her immediate environment and reflecting the many cultural inspirations of her life. Here, the Italian woven silk fabric, originally of Indian Mughal design, likely came from Campbell’s sister, designer Sally Campbell.1 The various textiles within the prints and painted woodblocks, from shibori fabrics to ikats, hand-painted silks and brocades, are mostly acquired through Sally’s imports, ‘I’m always buying them to use in my paintings’, the artist explained in 2011.2   Bursting from a sturdy wine decanter which wouldn’t be out of place serving house red in a Greek beachside taverna, the decorative profusion of the bougainvillea cannot be contained by the edges of the Campbell’s plywood block. In addition to the mottled texture of the printed watercolour paint happily evoking the plant’s distinctive papery blooms, the artist acknowledges the passing of time with subtle differences of colour. The wide range of red and pink hues conveys blooms past their prime on the desiccated tip of the branch and fallen into the water in the carafe, leached of their vibrancy.   Although she has asserted the importance of stylised design and pattern over subject matter in her artworks, Campbell had nevertheless acknowledged her remarkable ability to ‘draw plants pretty precisely, they’re like poems.’3 Botanical luxuriance formed the basis for the 18 prints shown alongside Bougainvillea in Campbell’s solo exhibition at Rex Irwin Art Dealer in 2003, their titles and subject matter including natives banksias and everlasting daisies, cliveas, orchids, peonies, monsteras, nasturtiums, jacaranda and orchids. Native to Latin South America and popular throughout the Mediterranean, the bougainvillea is a wild and unruly creeper, flowering in Sydney gardens from the first sign of spring right through to the end of summer. Never intended to be a cut flower, this specimen was likely a cutting from Margaret Olley’s viny garden in Paddington, offered as a suitably dramatic painting subject.4 Having applied an asymmetric composition, informed by Japanese pictorial technique, to a traditional still life expression of transient worldly pleasures, Campbell’s resulting image is striking and splendid.    1.

    CRESSIDA CAMPBELL born 1960 LILIES AND PARROT SHAWL, 2006 unique colour woodblock print 119.5 x 25.0 cm (image) 130.5 x 45.5 cm (sheet) signed lower right: Cressida Campbell signed below image lower left: Cressida Campbell PROVENANCE Rex Irwin Art Dealer, Sydney Private collection, Sydney, acquired from the above in 2007 EXHIBITED Cressida Campbell, Rex Irwin Art Dealer, Sydney, 9 October - 3 November 2007, cat. 30 ESSAY Within this long and narrow scroll-like composition, Cressida Campbell’s unopened lilies vie for attention against shimming, multicoloured parrots frozen in the silk threads of the background drapery. A tightly cropped asymmetric sliver of a still life arrangement, printed in sumptuous pigments in a unique impression, Lilies and Parrot Shawl, 2006 becomes an artistic exercise in competing patterns and modes of pictorial representation. The artist winks at the mythological origins of painting, in which the ancient Greek Zeuxis tricks birds with his realistic depiction of a bunch of grapes. Here, Campbell’s parrots are the ones who have been artistically stylised, embroidered into richly coloured silk, carved and then painted, while the recurring white lilies of her still lives, although appearing in realistic detail in comparison, are tantalisingly truncated.   Lilies and Parrot Shawl is closely related to a larger still life composition – Still Life with Lilies and Ranunculus, of the same year – also created with her signature mirrored process of incised woodblock and its unique printed impression. In contrast to the larger composition which includes a table and places the titular flowers in vases, Campbell’s narrow focus on one sprig of blooms set against a patterned fabric emphasises the screen-like shallow pictorial space for which she is so well-known. By sharing oblique views and isolating often overlooked details, Campbell conjures a sense of shared intimacy with her viewers. Although sculptural white lilies feature habitually in her still lives and interiors (from early works such as Lilies with Indian Cloth, 1994 to Lilies with Yellow Plate and Interior with White Lilies, 2003), here, for a brief suspended moment, the closed blooms do not distract from the magnificence of the woven leaves, branches and plumed parrots of the Indian shawl. Long before Campbell overtly described this process in the title of a work ( Journey Around My Room, 2019), she created images that gently coax viewers to travel through time and space, living vicariously through the artist and her personal recollections, both known and imagined. To collect is to travel, and the artist displays clearly her love for the objects in her collection through her careful attention. She explained this impetus in 1997 ‘things that I love, if I have not made them into a picture, I feel I have not fully experienced them.’1 The artist displays in her home (and in her artworks) these collections of artworks and ceramics. She also collects textiles, most acquired or borrowed from her sister, Sally, who deals in handmade Indian textiles.2 These bolts of fabric, delicately or boldly patterned, are regularly used by the artist as stimulating backgrounds for still-life compositions, placed as tablecloths on horizontal surfaces, or, as in this composition, hung in a screen behind a floral arrangement. A quiet achiever, Cressida Campbell has charmed Australian art lovers for over four decades, staying steadfastly true to her artistic vision and laboriously producing complex artworks of serene and seductive still lives, interiors and landscape views. Working at the intersection of painting and printmaking, she conjures beautiful unique images whose often prosaic subject matter conceals their meticulous conception. These works, on paper and on painted woodblock, are testaments to Campbell’s sophisticated visual intelligence and unwavering dedication to her artistic practice. With their unassuming beauty, they cannot help but remind us to slow down and to appreciate the visual beauty present in the everyday.   1.
