Andy Warhol Pop Art Style, Three Bananas on Red and Pink Color Block, Modern Still Life Oil Painting

Vintage Mid Century Modernist style inspired Still Life oil painting by me, Alexandra Swistak.

A very striking color block background is a grounding choice for this “Bunch of Bananas.” The bananas are absolutely saturated in these stunning colors. The unique color palette also creates an overall pop art feel.

Size: 10 x 8 inch
Frame is included
Medium: Oil on Canvas Board

The Flemish Renaissance, Mughal portraiture, Impressionism, Classicism and Cubism are references for my work. Each painting unfolds from observation, and an intuitive narrative. However, the style itself is not a conscious choice in my practice; it is the result.

A painting seldom begins and ends on one panel. A vision begins in the representational form but the moment it shifts towards the abstract; I begin work on multiple substrates. The unpredictability of these in-between states are fully explored. The work spills organically and grows in any direction similar to the roots of a plant. Thus, most representational paintings become triptychs or diptychs containing an abstract companion piece. One aspect always underscores and engages the other with an ultimate aim to provide an overall indulgent reprieve from the rituals of daily life.

(The artist actively exhibits her paintings from Bergdorf Goodman, New York to the UK. Her work is collected internationally and she keeps studios in Canada, France, Japan and India.)
