About the Work

Anything but still. This still life almost bubbles over with energy, because the artist Ottilie Roederstein is playing a radical game with the principles of colour theory. Unchecked, blue encounters yellow and red encounters green. The opposing colours heighten each other to achieve their full brilliance. The different structures of the surfaces of the basket, fruits, fabric and wallpaper create exciting effects. Only the smooth white tablecloth allows the eye to come to rest.
