Lemons 2007

Sharon Core's "Lemons" is a 2007 photograph that exemplifies the artist's signature still life style. Core's work is often described as a contemporary take on the traditional Dutch still life genre, known for its meticulous attention to detail and exploration of the commonplace. The image, featuring a bowl overflowing with lemons, a citron, and a silver spoon, evokes a sense of domesticity and simple beauty. The careful arrangement of objects, the play of light and shadow, and the precise rendering of textures create a sense of realism and tranquility, inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the everyday.
