All the Time in the World 2020

"All the Time in the World" is a 2020 painting by Scott Fraser, featuring a metronome, a common musical tool used to mark time, surrounded by a heap of spent matches and several burning in the air above. The composition creates a visual tension between the precision of the metronome and the fleeting nature of the flames, suggesting a meditation on the passage of time. The matches also evoke the idea of wasted opportunities, while the metronome serves as a reminder that time continues to march on, regardless of our actions. This thought-provoking piece, executed in Fraser's signature photorealistic style, invites viewers to reflect on the ephemeral nature of life.
