Fresh Cold Kiwifruitby =Hunter-Arkaman

Just a bit more water to add some refreshment... ^.^

Critique by ~Punhyme Feb 25, 2012, 11:50:35 PM

This photo is so deep and glouritteful. It really makes me think about how anime, Nazis and thirsty kiwi fruits have impacted this earth.
I like the way the water is hitting the kiwi fruit from underneath, almost as if to suggest some deep, hidden, sexual message. Very clever. Perhaps the artist is commenting on the sexualisation of fruit in pornography? It's a very controversial and brave move, considering it's something not many of us would discuss.
I think what I like most about this piece, is that it's just so blue. Y'know? I mean, look at all that blue. Sure, you've got your greens and your browns in this picture too, but they're not nearly as blue as the blue. And that's something I think we can all agree on.

Great work on this one, Jane.

i find this very beautiful and every time i see this i smell kiwis. the green on it gives the piece a strong punch and the daark backround makes it stand out more. the water in the image makes the kiwi seem more fresh and vibrant appealing to be. it is a pretty original idea, i would have never thought to do anything like this. the technique is very skilled and alot of effort must have been put in to this. very good job and i hope to see some of your other work as good as this one. lovely piece.

Ask any artist about “emptiness&#x 201D; and they’ll tell you about the constant recurring nightmarish emptiness they must face down almost every day as a part of their vocation: the blank space that they must fill. Whether he’s a painter facing a blank canvas or she’s...
