About The Work
Mat Tomezsko painted this fractured, geometric still life composition one section at a time. When working on one section, the artist would block off the rest of the composition so the objects and background needed to be re-positioned each time. With this technique, the background and table appear at different levels and the shapes don't quite align. These imperfections convey a sense of passing time. In each section, the tone of the light changes, and the shadows switch directions. The apples and geometric shapes were chosen as much for metaphorical value as for aesthetics. A seemingly simple arrangement in a familiar painting genre contains a depth of observation, artistic choices, and interpretation.
