Fruit Salad - Limited Edition of 10 Print

I bought a magic bullet -not to lose weight but to try to get a better quality diet and while I was putting together a smoothie I snapped this. I think that the light hitting the fruit and vegetable is really quite beautiful and it's a nice study in that it gives me a renewed appreciation for the beauty of life which can always be found if we simply look (even in the most banal of things), such as food. I wouldn't have shared this if I had not seen Edouard Manet's "Asparagus" and realized that finding beauty in the familiar is a valid function of art. This still life is caught in natural light and I love the contrasts of the Matai chopping board, the beautiful marbling of the benchtop, and the sweet orange of the rock melon, which is counter-balanced by the fiery red of the apple the warm yellows of the banana and the ginger and mandarin. The man-made objects provide an antithesis to the organic elements, the Magic bullet blender, the knives, the coffee cup lid, and the fruit rack give the image contrast. This is not intended to make food look "sexy" or "glamourous" in fact the whole object of the exercise is to provide an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the fruit -as they are (in the natural state) because they are intrinsically beautiful, and they do not actually need to be manipulated, lit, staged and choreographed to be attractive. The statement that I'm making (if there is one) is that life itself is intrinsically beautiful. "If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." ~Wayne Dyer.

The colors leap from the surface to produce vibrant melodious images. Your investment will retain its birth-date energy and integrity. You will appreciate this stunningly vital picture that is so spirited it will appear to levitate off any wall. The Chromoluxe sublimation technique means that the image is embossed into the slimline metal sheet that has a hanging frame on the back so that it sits out from the wall -by a couple of inches. This means that your rare edition print will seem to “float” just in from of the wall. You won’t need to make a separate payment for framing or worry about breakable glass and expensive heavy frames to carry (if you move to a new house). This print will be scratch-resistant, durable, and will retain the image’s vibrancy ~for a lifetime. This is 21st-century printing, high definition and literally, state-of-the-art.

Durable, appreciable, and gallery-quality. Side on, the print appears as a slip sheet of aluminum, from the front, the colors are glossy and intensely vivid.
