Belief in the Afterlife 2010

"Belief in the Afterlife" (2010) by Bo Bartlett depicts a still life with a single overturned chair in the foreground, juxtaposed against the presence of a plush sofa in the middle ground. The composition centers around a large window that opens to a view of a suburban house and a white picket fence, emphasizing the mundane nature of the scene. The soft light and muted colors evoke a sense of tranquility and stillness, while the overturned chair suggests a subtle departure, hinting at a sense of absence or transition, adding to the overall feeling of introspection.
