This small oil painting forms part of The Pantry collection, exploring the quiet poetry of everyday objects. At its centre, a blood orange is divided in half, its vivid reds and glowing oranges illuminated from within. Light passes through the translucent segments, creating a subtle interplay of warmth, shadow, and colour.
Painted in layered oils and finished with genuine copper leaf edges, the work invites close contemplation of the tension between surface and interior, concealment and revelation. Through the simple act of division, the fruit reveals an unexpected complexity, suggesting that clarity is rarely whole, but discovered gradually in fragments of light, texture, and form.
Unframed: 15 x 15 cm | 5.90 x 5.90 inches.
Medium: oil on canvas.
Finishing: the artwork comes ready to hang, and is finished with genuine copper leaf around the side edges.
