Yellow Food - Artem Andreichuk

In Andreichuk’s ‘Yellow food’, there is a large use of primary colours, making it an attention grabbing piece. ‘Yellow food’ depicts a unique interpretation of the classic still life drawings, by using bold and vivid strokes instead of focusing on creating a detailed illustration. Andreichuk depicts a living room table covered with yellow tomatoes and two large potted plants, thereby showing the natural beauty of this disarray. Unlike what is man made, the beauty of nature is within its randomness and spontaneousness, which can be seen in ‘Yellow food’ as it is the disarray of the tomatoes and plants which brings the most beauty to this scene.

Cactus and Banana - Artem Andreichuk

‘Cactus and banana’ is a still life in the abstract and minimalist style. Andreichuk uses a combination of bright colours to give it an animated feeling in the otherwise simple scene. The use of blues and pinks gives this piece a feeling of childish playfulness, which is emphasised by the polka dots on the pots and the bright fruits that lie on the table. Andreichuk takes the idea of a still life and employs his own unique style to it, giving character to an otherwise plain scene. Furthermore, Andreichuk choses to depict a common house plant, yet paints it through a more joyful perspective, giving the everyday plant a sense of uniqueness
