Why do still lifes typically feature mundane subjects like insignificant vases with fruit or lifeless fish? Consider Andrew McNeile Jones, for instance (Andrew McNeile Jones, British) — his still lifes focus more on interiors. Until 2017, his paintings primarily revolved around interior spaces, treating them as the main subject. However, from 2017 onwards, it appears his artworks shifted towards being predominantly suited for interiors — ones that enhance the look above a sofa in a contemporary apartment. This later phase of his oeuvre is more elusive to me. It’s as though the artist himself was supplanted. I’m not judging if it’s better or worse; it’s just markedly different. I’ll add a link to his website in the comments — do take a look.
