Lobster

LOBSTER Acrylic on Canvas | 36" × 48" | 2026 Delicacies Series

There is something about a lobster.

Regal, ancient, absurd and magnificent all at once — the lobster has always occupied a peculiar place in our cultural imagination. Luxury and comedy in equal measure. The ultimate dinner party centrepiece. A creature that looks like it was designed by someone with a very particular sense of humour and an unlimited budget.

This one demands your full attention.

Painted at commanding scale, Lobster is rendered frontally — claws raised, tail fanned, occupying the canvas with the confidence of something that has absolutely nothing to prove. The palette is all deep crimson, burgundy and vermillion, barely contained against a loose, luminous ground of sage and cream that lets the subject breathe and dominate simultaneously. The brushwork is assured and generous — you can feel the weight of the paint, the deliberateness of every mark.

This is still life painting with swagger. Old master subject matter with a completely contemporary attitude.

Part of the Delicacies Series — an ongoing celebration of food, pleasure and the art of taking the deliciously ordinary seriously. Lobster is the series at its most commanding. This is not a small painting of a small idea. It is a large painting of a very large personality.
