Vegetables in their natural habitat, but not behaving naturally: the kitchen splash scene places familiar produce in a situation it has apparently engineered itself, the character illustration approach giving each vegetable the attitude and expression the premise demands. The result is a composition that commits to its premise without winking at the audience, which is exactly what makes it work.

Kitchen canvas for homes where the cooking space has personality as well as function. Works in a kitchen where a warmly funny, character-driven canvas about vegetables in their element earns its place on the wall, and in a dining room where a piece with this much life and humour sets an excellent tone before anyone has reached for the bread. A genuinely entertaining piece.
