Inspired by Juan Sánchez Cotán
One of my all time fave artists is Juan Sánchez Cotán, a strange, Spanish, still life painter from the 16th Century.  Where the heck does this fruit exist?! His paintings are so mysterious and silent. They seem so simple.
The other morning I tried to photograph my typical cigarette breakfast. But still life isn’t as easy as Cotán makes it.
The mono-print is a really old one from a couple of years back, its pretty beat up now. (see greasy tack stains :-/ ) I think this is a slightly more successful pastiché. Capturing the trippy falling fruit.
