About the Item
The artwork "Nipples & Peas" by Tina Heck, created in 1983, is a print that combines elements of realism and abstraction. The technique appears to be a combination of printmaking, possibly lithography or screen printing, with hand-coloring. The image shows a bowl of peas with what appear to be small, pinkish-orange "nipples" interspersed among them. The bowl is depicted in a stylized manner with a blue and white checkered pattern, and the surrounding area is left mostly blank, emphasizing the central image.
The meaning of the artwork is open to interpretation, but it seems to play on the dual nature of the word "nipples", referencing both the anatomical feature and the small rounded shape of the peas. It could be a commentary on the human body, food, and the way we perceive and categorize objects. The juxtaposition of the familiar (peas) with the unexpected (nipples) creates a sense of unease and humor. The seemingly simple title also adds to the artwork's ambiguity, inviting viewers to contemplate the connection between these seemingly disparate elements.
The use of a limited color palette and the stark contrast between the detailed bowl and the blank background further enhance the artwork's conceptual nature. Overall, "Nipples & Peas" is a provocative and thought-provoking piece that challenges viewers to question their assumptions about the world around them. One of a Folio of 12 works, listed elsewhere; a copy of the introduction and list of artists plates included.
