Framed Eggplant Art
An interesting thing to do when looking at art is to take one object and view the different styles that it has been painted in. This is easy to do with a simple still life. Take one vegetable, an eggplant, for example and examine the different styles of art through that one subject. Framed eggplant wall art entitled “Eggplant” by Janet Stever is an example of the realistic, classical style of painting. She depicts the true to life colors and dimensions of the plant.
This painting is in steep contrast with the framed eggplant art entitled “Eggplant Parmesan”, by Marlene Siff. In this painting, the eggplant and the other objects are portrayed in a cartoon-like style, taking away the depth and dimension that makes objects appear real or 3D.
More modern and contrasting examples of framed eggplant art pieces are seen in Kristin Emery’s “Eggplant” and Jeff Condon’s “Eggplant Elite.” Emery’s “Eggplant” is composed of a series of purple lines in different shades, yet the viewer can still identify the subject of the piece. Similarly, Codon’s piece is composed of bright colors and contrasting shadows producing the abstract image of a bowl of eggplants.
Will Rafuse takes painted eggplant art to another level by painting in a more post-impressionistic style. Reminiscent of works of Vincent Van Gogh, Rafuse’s piece “Eggplant” captures a major movement in art with a simple vegetable. More decorative styles of the food are found in Megan Duncanson’s “Vegetables 1 Eggplant” and Michael Willett’s “Watercolor Eggplant.” These pieces would go well in any setting, especially where cooking takes place, or wherever freshness and color is needed.
