Maquette for Still Life with Fruit, Petunias and Claire (3-D)
1987
This vibrant maquette presents a collage like composition combining figurative and still life elements characteristic of Pop Art aesthetics. The work features a stylized female profile in blonde hair alongside a boldly outlined bowl of fruit rendered in bright, contrasting colors. Blue birds fly through a sky blue background, while pink floral forms and geometric shapes create visual rhythm throughout the composition. The layered assembly, executed across what appears to be acrylic or paint on board, demonstrates the artist's exploration of incorporating disparate imagery and commercial visual language into fine art.
