Note du spécialiste

A hyper-realist rendering of an ephemeral subject, German artist Helene Appel’s Tender Leaf Salad brings abstract painting into direct correspondence with the domestic realm. With its complex visual language and formal arrangement the illusionistic lettuce leaves in Tender Leaf Salad appear to spell out words; the careful composition explores the tension between representation and communication, investigating the relationship between artist and viewer.
