"Homage" This still life illustrates the concept of uniqueness: even a reflection from an object is not its copy. In this context, the abstraction of the bottom half of the painting is a free interpretation of the real silhouettes of objects above, similar to how twins often have different personalities and interests despite their external similarity. The painting references Gucci’s Twinsburg show in Milan, where identical outfits were presented on twins. "The same clothes emanate different qualities on seemingly identical bodies," said Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele. Similarly, the artist interprets reality: the same object will be depicted differently by different painters depending on their worldview. The interpretation of the finished work will evoke different associations in viewers as well. Uniqueness is a quality that unites us with its distinctive principle.”   View more of our Contemporary artworks and Old Masters artworks
