NOT REALLY
80 × 120 cm
Oil paint, acrylic paint, dry pastel and compressed charcoal on canvas
Unframed
A still life, but not really.
Familiar forms appear throughout the painting: something resembling vessels, fruit or objects placed on a table. They remain recognisable enough to suggest a still life, but never settle into one completely.
Layers of paint, rubbed pastel and traces of charcoal shift the focus from the objects themselves to the surface around them. Some forms emerge clearly, while others seem to disappear back into the painting.
NOT REALLY is about this uncertain space between recognition and abstraction. It shows something familiar, while quietly refusing to explain exactly what it is.
