A feast of form and color, Cherries by Heinz Schönhammer is a celebration of pure, gleaming abundance. The canvas overflows with clusters of ripe, red fruit, each cherry painted with a mirror-like sheen that catches and reflects light in dazzling variation. The repetition of round forms and taut skin creates a rhythm that pulses with life and ripeness. Schönhammer’s hyperrealist style turns the surface into a field of sensual delight—light glances across glossy surfaces while stems curve like elegant calligraphy. Deep burgundies, bright crimsons, and inky purples intermingle, lending the composition a velvety richness that’s as tactile as it is visual. Cherries is a vibrant ode to color, excess, and nature’s indulgence, elevated to visual poetry through masterful control of light and tone.

Luxurious and indulgent, Toust transforms a familiar comfort food into a monument of sensuous abundance. Heinz Schönhammer’s oil on canvas depicts a lavish croque madame in glorious exaggeration—cheese cascading in molten waves, yolk gleaming like a jewel, and soft pink ham folding between slices of golden, toasted bread. Every element appears touchable, edible, larger than life. The painting plays with scale and desire, inviting the viewer to revel in excess. Shadows and highlights are used sculpturally, turning cheese into silk and bread into velvet. The saturated palette of creams, golds, and blues lends the work both warmth and richness, making the composition feel both hyperreal and dreamlike. Toust is not simply a depiction of food—it’s an invitation to indulge in visual pleasure. Schönhammer elevates the mundane to the magnificent, with every drip, ooze, and fold rendered in delicious detail.
