Whether it is a piece of meat, lettuce leaves, fishing nets, twigs, plastic bags or puddles, Appel presents her cropped subjects in plan view, on untreated canvas in a realistic scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf one takes a closer look, though, this attitude reveals its radical nature. Detaching herself completely from the tradition of still life, Appel does not strive to develop a painterly signature, does not emphasize her distinctive ductus. Instead, she carefully seeks an adequate mode of expression for each of her pictorial objects, thus emphasizing their particular physical presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the realistic representation, Appel's works evoke a sense of a high degree of abstraction. The impression is that of a distanced look that creates a tension between the familiar and the unaccustomed, questioning the relationship we have to our environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis bilingual edition of \u003cem\u003eHelene Appel Among Trees\u003c\/em\u003e sheds light on her unique approach to art by presenting her works with an insightful exploration of her distinctive style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430830555372,"sku":"9783775752596","price":80.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783775752596.jpg?v=1774558370","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/helene-appel-among-tress-bilingual-edition-9783775752596","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
