Using traditional still life objects, such as bottles and jugs, Helyard emphasises the influence he has found in Dutch still life painting. This modernist Aquamarine composition with striking spontaneous colour accents also takes reference from the Scottish artist William Scott.
Helyard’s decision to use blue not only emphasises the fleeting nature of light, but also situates his traditional subjects in a contemporary setting. Furthermore, his application of paint and use of mixed media imbues his still lifes with a textural quality, refreshing this typical still life set up.

Biography
Born in Beverley, East Yorkshire in 1951, Neil Helyard is a talented draughtsman who has always had a passion for art.
‘I need to satisfy my own creativity. A lot of artists only paint in one style, however for me, my style, whether it be classical, contemporary or expressive, depends very much on how I feel.’ Neil Helyard
Initially exhibiting in private galleries, Neil quickly progressed to exhibit in numerous prestigious exhibitions held at the Royal Society of Portrait Painters (Annual Exhibitions) from 2005, winning the Prince of Wales Award for Portrait Drawing in 2009; The Royal Watercolour Society; The Pastel Society; The Garrick/Milne 2005 (Christies, London) and Leeds City Art Gallery to name a few.
In his finished works, Neil succeeds to reveal the beauty in everyday life, celebrating his subjects in his own distinctive style.
