MAISON ORANGE Oil Stick on Canvas | 48" × 36" | 2025

Somewhere in the south of France a house is entirely surrounded by oranges and has made its peace with this completely.

Maison Orange is a painting of pure abundance — two orange trees in full fruit press against the picture plane from either side, their branches laden with the most vivid, improbable orange circles imaginable, the fruit so present and so many that the house behind them is glimpsed rather than seen. Blue shutters. White walls. A roof the colour of a Provençal afternoon. Everything dappled, everything warm, everything exactly as it should be in a place that has been growing oranges since before anyone thought to count.

The oil stick gives the surface an extraordinary quality — rich, waxy, luminous, the marks carrying a physical warmth that perfectly matches the subject. The orange of the fruit is painted with the confidence of someone who has stood in an orange grove and understood immediately why painters have been returning to this subject for centuries. It is not just a colour. It is a feeling. It is warmth and generosity and the particular joy of something growing in abundance for no reason other than that is what it does.

The blue of the shutters and the sky glimpsed through the canopy creates a vibration against the orange that is almost musical — complementary colours doing what complementary colours do when handled with complete confidence, which is to make each other more themselves.

Maison Orange is a painting about a place that exists in the imagination of everyone who has ever dreamed of the south of France — the house with the orange trees, the blue shutters, the afternoon that never ends.
