Description

This vividly colorful painting has a lot going on. As with Preachen’s “Still Life on a Balcony,” space is radically discontinuous here: flowers, table covering, fields, and sky each occupy their own flat plane; the dark brown stoneware pitcher reflects its surroundings in distorted curves. It’s not clear what plant (or flower) is depicted on the cloth.
