Martwa natura z pomarańczą, butelką i kałamarzem 1934

Sasza Blonder made this still life painting of oranges, a bottle, and an inkwell with oil on canvas. I imagine him, brush in hand, circling the objects on the table, trying to capture their essence with those thick strokes of colour. There’s a real tension between flatness and depth here, you know? Like, he’s pushing the boundaries of what a still life can be, what painting can be. That inkwell – it’s like a little puzzle, isn't it? And the oranges – they're not just sitting there; they're almost vibrating with energy. The colour palette is so understated, yet those pinks and yellows create a really gentle harmony. It is easy to imagine that he’s in conversation with painters like Matisse, or Bonnard, taking the familiar forms and distilling them down to their essence. This painting feels like a part of one big, ongoing conversation that painters have been having for centuries.
