The artwork, titled “Still Life”, is an oil on canvas painting created by Luc Tuymans in 2002 in Belgium. This piece is a part of the New European Painting art movement and falls within the still life genre. The dimensions of the artwork are 347 by 500 cm.
The artwork depicts a seemingly simple arrangement typically associated with traditional still life painting. A variety of fruits and a glass pitcher are positioned on a surface, rendered in soft, muted tones. The background is minimalist, emphasizing the objects in the composition. The subtle color palette for which Tuymans is known evokes a sense of tranquility and contemplation, inviting the viewer to engage with the mundane yet evocative subject matter. The large scale of the painting adds to its presence, suggesting that the depicted quotidian elements bear significant weight or meaning.
