#25 René Ferriere – Still Life with Flowers

Signed lower right.

René Ferriere’s Still Life with Flowers is a vibrant and expressive composition that captures the fleeting beauty of nature. The artist employs thick, impasto brushstrokes and a rich, warm palette to bring the floral arrangement to life. The bouquet of red, yellow, and white blossoms bursts with energy, set against a contrasting background of lush green foliage. The checkered tablecloth beneath the vase adds a dynamic visual texture, reinforcing the spontaneity and movement within the composition.

The inclusion of a single green apple on the table introduces an element of balance and contrast, grounding the piece in a sense of natural harmony. Ferriere’s confident use of color and gestural brushwork reflects the influence of Post-Impressionism and Fauvism, emphasizing the emotional and sensory impact of the scene over strict realism.
