The composition uses a flattened perspective to display an arrangement of everyday objects. A white jug, bright lemons and a vibrant red plate with fruit sit across a striking expanse of teal blue, while a delicate flower rendered in light loose strokes rests to the left. The artist employs a lively and textural technique, allowing a raw ochre underpainting to frame the table and peek through the blue pigment to give the central form a tactile and rustic edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting strongly exhibits the traditions of 20th century British Modernism, drawing immediate stylistic comparisons to the work of Mary Fedden and Elaine Turnbull. Like Fedden and Turnbull, the artist embraces a deliberate departure from strict realism in favour of playful geometry and a bold palette. The flat contrast of the vivid red plate and bright yellow lemons against the cooler background is a hallmark of this joyful modernist approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented in a softly washed pale wooden frame that perfectly complements the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roupell \u0026 Co.
