One Bad Apple 2015

"One Bad Apple" (2015) by Rose Freymuth-Frazier is a realist oil painting depicting a woman with a defiant and assertive expression. She is smoking a cigar and wearing a fedora, suggesting a sense of power and rebellion. The prominent "Boss" necklace and the apple, symbolizing temptation, add layers of meaning. The woman’s bare chest and the apple’s fleshy exterior create a visual link to the human body, challenging traditional notions of femininity. The painting is a powerful commentary on female empowerment and the complexities of identity.
