This one is a response to Cezanne’s “Still life with Basket of Apples” 1890-94. What I tried to do with this one was modernise the still-life study with a piece of ubiquitous technology, while making a dig at my husband’s ever-present iPhone. This gadget is a real bone of contention in our house, I don’t own one myself, so I figured if I can’t beat ‘im on the iPhone front, then might as well join ‘im and stick the iPhone in one of my paintings where it doesn’t necessarily belong but I’m going to ignore courtesy and put it there anyway.
