Apple
This oil painting is from the artist’s ongoing series of still-lifes depicting fruit and plants in interior spaces. Here, an apple rests on the edge of a table.
Amy Applegate is interested in the way personal and collective knowledge and narratives guide our attention and shape our experience of the present. Her recent work is rooted in observational painting, as it is a way to document her experience of a particular time and place. Influenced by biological and environmental factors, Applegate records her decisions—both conscious and subconscious—and each work speaks as much to her process of looking and searching as it does the finished product.
