The story
A red apple hangs in the air, a little more than halfway down, from a braided cord that drops straight from the top edge and is tied to the stalk with a bow. The fruit is painted in almost photographic detail: the white highlight on top, the red darkening toward the sides and the small lobes at the base.
The background is black from top to bottom, with no other reference, so that the cord and the fruit are the only light in a very tall canvas. The signature, very faint, is at the lower right.
Why this work?
«Manzana», by Luis Mariano Crespo, is an acrylic on canvas measuring 127 × 67.5 cm (dimensions to be confirmed): a red apple of almost photographic detail hanging from a braided cord against an entirely black ground, in a very tall vertical format. A unique, signed work, selected by Pablo Vaca for EL ART DEALER for its economy and precision.
In your space
The tall format calls for a narrow, high stretch of wall: between two windows, beside a door or at the end of a corridor.
