Still Life (wall piece) Series of sculptures, 2019. Plaster, polyester, MDF, coating

In the ‘Still Life (wall piece)’ series, the artist alludes to previous, more classical vanitas variations, while adding more playful and festive elements to the compositions. For example, the combination of a number of different scales; some of the objects are life-sized, while others have been reduced in size.

The monochrome still life features commonplace objects, both classic and very contemporary. Sculptural versions of the taxidermist’s art, plants, bottles, vases, fruit, drink cans, candlesticks and so on, form uniquely assembled compositions that represent our present environment, certainly, but also work as memento mori, reminding us of the transitory nature of human existence.
