Piece description from the artist
I’ve always loved passing by fruit stands where the fruit is so colorful and neatly organized like a Japanese Bento Box. There is a painting depicting a fruit stand by Gustave Caillebotte in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. I used to study it while working as a security guard there in art school. Finding this fruit stand while walking the streets of Berlin stopped me in my tracks. The perfect light of that day showed the fruit at its best.
Nicole Maynard is an artist working across media: painting, drawing, digital, and games. She received an MFA in Painting with a minor in Printmaking from the University of Pennsylvania and is originally from Boston, Massachusetts. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout the Northeast and Miami. Maynard’s paintings exist at the edge of abstraction and representation, using landscape and imagery such as houses and moving boxes to suggest environments in transition. Her compositions balance structure and spatial illusions, reflecting themes of permanence and impermanence, displacement, and belonging. Architectural ambiguity is conveyed through shifting forms, which play a central role in her process.
