Still Life on Table 

Kmetty János created this oil painting, "Still Life on Table," which presents a study in contrasts and arrangements. The composition is carefully structured to balance the play of light and shadow across various forms. The color palette, while subdued, enlivens the scene to evoke a sense of quiet contemplation. The arrangement of objects on the table is not merely representational; it's a structural exploration. János uses the contrast between angular and curved forms, the sharp lines of the pitcher against the soft roundness of the fruits, to destabilize traditional still life conventions. The layering of objects creates depth, yet the painting flattens perspective, challenging our perception of space. The artist transforms everyday items into a discourse on form and perception. This work encourages us to reflect on how we interpret the world through visual cues and constructed arrangements. It is an invitation to understand how meaning is created through form.
