A classic still life given a modern, sculptural weight and a vibrant, earthy palette.
A large, striped marrow rests on a draped purple cloth, its powerful diagonal form anchoring a composition of apples and a rustic terracotta jug. McAndrew builds his forms with solid, confident brushstrokes, using color to model the objects and give them a palpable, sculptural presence reminiscent of Cézanne. This is not just a study of vegetables, but a celebration of the humble, monumental forms of the harvest, rendered with an honest, painterly directness.
