The artwork titled “Apple” by Luc Tuymans was created in 1993 in Belgium and belongs to the New European Painting movement. It falls under the genre of sketch and study.
In the artwork, a large apple is depicted with a somewhat rough and abstract approach. The apple is set against a muted, almost monochromatic background, which helps in enhancing the imagery of the central object. The strokes applied to the apple denote a deliberate departure from realism, focusing more on the form and texture rather than precise details. The use of shadow and light in the sketch gives it depth and dimension, creating a sense of solidity despite the simplistic palette and brushwork.
