In this imaginative reinterpretation of the traditional vase of flowers, a vibrant pink geranium takes center stage amidst thick layers of oil paint that spread across the canvas like rich, whipped frosting on a decadent cake. The ceramic vase, appearing as if sliced open with a knife, reveals a cross-section of its broody dark chocolate interior. The oil paint swirls and layers in luscious peaks and valleys, blanketing the surface with a velvety smoothness. Each stroke of the spatula surprises us with unexpected stripes while finger painting adds depth and dimension. Iris has truly sculpted a tactile still life that captures light like fresh icing. Come take a bite of this delicious little piece.
