Things on My Bureau

Things on My Bureau is a quiet picture. It carefully trapses from one object to another along the top of the artist’s bureau. We follow a confident set of lines led directly by the artist’s eye and what do we see? Reminders of the artist’s trade - brushes in a tin can, a vase featured already in several of Jolley’s paintings. Evidence of his disposition - a whimsical victorian ‘trick dog’ novelty bank and figures of characters from The Wind In The Willows. A love of 1950s rock and roll - his bust of Elvis Presley is on proud display. In many ways the picture is a self-portrait in disguise, a picture about how our possessions pay us testament.
