This striking artwork masterfully combines elements of still life with bold color choices, creating a visually captivating composition. Dominating the upper portion of the canvas, a rich, deep red background commands immediate attention, setting a dramatic tone for the scene. Against this vivid backdrop, a majestic arrangement of lively sunflowers bursts forth from a finely detailed, blue and white ceramic vase, invoking a sense of joy and natural beauty.
Strategically placed on a pristine marble table, various objects interact with each other in a harmonious yet intricate display. A prominent silver pitcher reflects light and surroundings with remarkable realism, its surface precisely capturing the subtle play of reflections and shadows. Two delicate champagne flutes, partially filled with golden liquid, add a touch of elegance and celebration to the scene.
Further enriching the composition, limes are scattered across the tableau, their vibrant green hues contrasting sharply with the dominant red background and monochrome elements. A peeled orange, with its spiral of skin dangling artfully over the table edge, introduces a layer of dynamic movement and texture. Decorative blue and white ceramic pieces, echoing the vase, are meticulously painted, showcasing intricate patterns that contribute an element of cultural depth.
Finally, a carefully folded blue and yellow fabric lies gracefully on the table, its colors and patterns tying together various elements of the scene. Each object in this painting is depicted with obsessive detail and precision, from the smooth surface of the ceramics to the delicate petals of the sunflowers, creating a rich interplay of textures and a feast for the eyes.
The artistry of this piece lies in its ability to balance a sense of stillness with a lively and festive atmosphere, making it a profound and memorable work that invites viewers to linger and explore every meticulous detail.

Presentation
Amy Nelder is a versatile painter of diverse genres, who has been engaged in the last 13 years with contemporary still-life painting she calls “Pop Trompe L'eoil", as well as, in recent years, an empowering partner-series about bodily and psychic autonomy she paints with her daughter called “That's NOT My Name (Honey/Baby/Sugar)".
Critics and art writers have credited Nelder with radically updating the nature of today's still life to leave behind what one might call the hackneyed, old-fashioned subject matter of yore – bunches of grapes and flowers, for example – to replace it with hip, debonair, au courant imagery. While Old Master still lifes may fetch millions of dollars, executed in the most expert and astonishing ways, the time has come, these observers claim, for the still life to speak to today's audience in today's effervescent language. Timothy Anglin-Burgard refers to Nelder's “wonderful tension" in the de Young Museum's virtual tour of 2020's “De Young Open" exhibition", in which Amy's “Apples & Honey, 2020" was a featured work.
Nelder meets the challenge with this past year's Covid19 series as well as the past 13 years of her Pop-oriented, romance-skewed scenes of domestic life, wherein lipstick-kissed wine glasses and haute couture meet Scrabble boards, cereal boxes, and the mess of baking chocolate chip cookies. Her more romantic portraits are often of a blissful couple navigating the realities of domestic life is recorded with a kind of hipster synecdoche – the Greek concept in poetics of using stand-in symbols to represent a bigger, more meaningful whole. More recently, working-motherhood, Covid19, and empowering pro-femme dialogues have dominated her pop still lifes in an elegant dovetailing dance with the “That's NOT My Name" works she creates with her daughter.
Here is a truly superb draughtsman, who can draw like an Old Master, while at the same time delivering a still life genre that is all about the here and now. In her San Francisco studio, one is treated to seeing Nelder's actual still life props, set up on a table. Watching her transmit the model's image to canvas with stunning realist accuracy is both fascinating and uncanny. She purposely seems to pick the hardest subject matter to conquer: sterling silver, glass with its many-faceted reflective qualities, elaborate typefaces curving round bottles, and the like. Here is a Raphael realist, whose subject ranges from a tongue in cheek dialogue about the current pandemic, to a pop-fueled cupidity, pulled off with amazing chic and glamour, yet as down to earth as your last date.
