About the Item

“The apples in my paintings is full of life, humanity and spirit. Apples come in various forms and colors, just like every human being creates all kinds of life journeys.” Lim Kim Hai devoted himself to paint apples in his entire artist’s career. He started drawing apples when he was studying at École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France. As a foreign art student needed to save money for living, apple became a common subject for Lim to develop his skills because it is one of cheapest object to buy. A simple and cheap object as an apple, it is also one of favorite subjects to the impressionism master Paul Cézanne. Cézanne’s apple paintings feature visual arrangement that is consist of lights and shadows, composition and multiple perspectives to shape vivid characters of everyday objects we take for granted. For Lim, apple explains more than itself. *Ships in a tube* This item will arrive rolled in a dent-resistant tube. This method is especially safe for oversized works, and provides lower shipping costs as well. Rolled works can be easily stretched (for canvas works, i.e. placed onto wooden stretcher bars) and/or framed by a local framer upon arrival.

Apple Cider, Original Painting
By Dwight Smith
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Artist Dwight Smith depicts a realistic culinary-themed still life. "The bottle opener was of my dad and mom's from so long ago I don't remember when," shares Dwight. He paints a bright red apple on its side adjacent to it. A focused light source highlights the foreground, while strong contrasts of dark shadows in the background frame the elements.


About the Artist
Dwight Smith depicts commonplace objects with a sense of playfulness and humor. His watercolor still life paintings appear conventional in their soft colors and composed compositions, but upon further observation the juxtaposition of unrelated items make for delightfully surprising combinations and comparisons. This transformation of the everyday, and strong graphic style, lend the work a pop feel. However, pop art is generally cool and ironic. Instead, there is a familiar and comforting sense of kitsch and Americana in Dwight’s subjects. In a similar fashion to the work of American artist Wayne Thiebaud, Dwight paints food and sweets of the American appetite. Doughnuts, hotdogs, and lollipops are captured in all of their potent delight. He plays with scale and composition to bring out a sense of the absurd, but ultimately his goal is to make the viewer smile.
