About the Item
This vibrant and dynamic still life is a modern homage to Georges Braque, a pioneering figure of Cubism. The artist masterfully integrates Braque’s signature visual language, blending bold geometric structures with organic forms, abstraction with reality. The result is a composition that echoes the fragmented perspectives and layered planes characteristic of Braque’s revolutionary approach to still life.
At the heart of the painting, a cluster of deep purple mangosteens (a nod to the artist's current life in Asia), still wrapped in a red plastic net, spills onto the table. Their rich, velvety hues contrast with the cool turquoise ceramic bowl, creating an interplay of color and form reminiscent of Braque’s dynamic color blocking. A golden-hued gourd, sculptural in presence, adds balance and warmth, much like the organic elements often seen in Cubist still lifes.
In the background, a book on Georges Braque takes center stage, not just as an object but as a conceptual anchor, reinforcing the Cubist inspiration behind the arrangement. Its bold, graphic cover becomes an integral part of the composition, mirroring Braque’s signature use of collage and textural contrast.
Through an interplay of textures and forms, the artist pays tribute to Braque’s Cubist still lifes, where everyday objects are transformed into harmonized abstractions, rich in texture, depth, and movement.
The painting is sold unframed and would benefit from a modern clean lines float frame.
