Description
Black Pool Ball (8 Ball) is a striking contemporary still life by British artist Sarah Victoria Scott, painted in 2026. With bold simplicity and assured brushwork, Scott transforms the familiar form of a billiard ball into a compelling study of light, reflection and colour.
Set against a richly textured field of vibrant blue, the deep black surface of the 8 ball is brought to life through crisp highlights and subtle reflected tones that reveal its polished, spherical form. Loose, expressive brushstrokes contrast with the precision of the object itself, creating a painting that is both playful and sophisticated. The restrained composition invites the viewer to appreciate the quiet beauty found within an everyday subject, demonstrating the artist’s confident command of observation and painterly expression.
Sarah Victoria Scott is a painter based in Lancashire, England, working primarily in oil paint.
