2018
Picture frame, wooden box, fabric, plastic and fimo fruit and seafood, oil paint
42" x 30"
Facsimile of the painting of Dutch artist Abraham Van Beyeren.
This work was from a project where I created three-dimensional works from two-dimensional paintings. Banquet Still Life is copied from the painting of Dutch artist Abraham Van Beijeren. This was extremely laborious work requiring several months of work.
I attempted to recreate the objects in the painting, fabricating rare or antique vases and vials from found objects and clay.
