Henk Helmantel (1945)
Still Life with Pomegranates
1998 | oil paint on board | 59 × 122 cm
This still life of pomegranates in an antique Chinese bronze bowl by Henk Helmantel celebrates the simple pleasures in life.
This still life with its lean composition, and cropped depiction of the bright red cask, is surprisingly modern. Helmantel’s expressive brushwork invites us to marvel over every detail: the fall of light on the bowl, the intimate hues present in the shadows, the intense colour of a piece of fruit.
