Fruit and Material
Cloth, acetate, acrylic paint. A2. 05/09/2017. This study is inspired by the Renaissance symbolism of fruit. I painted lemons and oranges, which symbolise greed and wealth, on acetate and stuck them above pieces of cloth so that one can see the texture and colour of the cloth beneath it through the empty acetate. The cloth underneath were some of the most expensive colours (eg. lapis lazuli blue) during Renaissance time periods. Therefore having these citrus fruits above creates a direct connection.
