Teapot with String 2020

Scott Fraser's "Teapot with String" (2020) is a still life painting characterized by its minimalist composition and hyperrealistic detail. The artwork features a gleaming, silver teapot, a simple wooden shelf, and a string tied to a pushpin. The string is strung taut across the background, creating a stark and somewhat unsettling tension within the otherwise quiet scene. This simple arrangement is painted with remarkable accuracy, blurring the lines between the real and the imagined, and highlighting the artist's mastery of light and shadow. The teapot's reflective surface further adds to the illusion, reflecting the artist's studio space within the image.
