Still life is the image of inanimate objects, mainly various fruits or flowers. Most often, these items are also not real - plastic or papier-mâché. This trend was decided to bring to the absolute the Swedish artist Fideli Sundqvistwhich created the series still life photographsdepicting food from paper.
Modern still lifes are very, very different from the classical works of this genre of painting. Examples include still life photographs by Maria Sapego, rotten foods by Klaus Pichler, interactive works by Scott Garner, or monochrome compositions by Athena Melton.
Another artist who decided to bring her original vision to the still life genre was the Swede Fideli Sankvist. She decided that there was no point in making all kinds of papier-mâché in order to then paint pictures with the image of artificial fruits. After all, modern civilization has made a huge technological breakthrough since the Middle Ages, which means that objects for still lifes can simply be printed on a printer!
Here is Fideli Sankvist and creates fruits, vegetables, meat and other edible products first as flat layouts on a computer, and then, after printing, glues them into three-dimensional objects.
Subsequently, Fideli Sankvist creates compositions from these objects, using quite real cutlery and other entourage, and takes still life photographs - albeit very unusual, but beautiful and extraordinary!
Moreover, the process of creating one such work takes a minimum amount of time - creating a layout, printing it, gluing and photographing it takes place almost automatically, the algorithm is streamlined and works well! However, no one can claim that Fideli Sankvist's work is not art!
