Still
The stilllife has its origins in ancient times, but wasn't until the 17th century that it became a popular form of artistic expression. Today, still life continues to be a source of aesthetic inspiration, and while the term often summons up ideas of tradition, the still life we encounter in the gallery may be something completely unexpected. In this exhibition we look at the ways in which artists create still life in the 21st century, and compare contemporary practice with that of previous generations.
