Still Life 13 was made by Enzo Roff after the artist spent some time in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, France and was particularly struck by the beauty of the traditional floral still lives. Roff was particularly interested in the work of Henri Fantin-Latour and, inspired by this work, began exploring moving still life images, using moving image to introduce the kinetic energy that is impossible to capture in paint.

This work sets out to include and emphasise the elements that are impossible to paint; clouds slowly cross the sky outside the window as the roses and table-cloth move in the draft of a very old house.

As with all Roff’s work, it is possible to seamlessly repeat this image, creating an unnoticeable infinite and continuous loop.
