This still life painting intertwines allusion, allegory and fragmented storytelling. The artist's work is versed in the geometric and figurative vocabularies of movements like the Frankfurt School, and frequently alludes to the experience of being an artist—such as the paintbrush resting next to the bowl of fruit in this composition. Anholt's paintings isolate emotions and postures through a poetic lens, while exploring memory, identity, solitude and the delicate and unspoken moments of being. The artist's work plumbs interior depths, filtering the world around us into tableaus of deep and prescient humanism.
