The Fall

The Fall

Medium: Oil paint on canvas board
Size: 51 × 40.5 × 0.5 cm
Framed: 53 × 42.5 × 3 cm

The Fall was inspired by the famous John Lennon quote, “Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans”.

The painting shows an apple apparently suspended in mid-air, sliced into separate sections and frozen between ascent and descent. The bright yellow centre contrasts with the darker textured surround, creating a sense of tension between certainty and change.

The title alludes to how quickly circumstances can shift. One moment life appears settled; the next, events take an unexpected turn.
