Fruitful is building on a culture of Still life painting of the Flamish School of the 17th century and its baroc echoes, with an obvious pleasure of material sensuality; it is a mirror frame built from the finest grain of American Walnut massive wood, carved by the best of digital fabrication.The frame’s composition was made by assembling real fruits and vegetables, (in a reference to the “installation” made of meat by Claude Lantier, in "Le ventre de paris" de Balzac) which were then 3D scanned and edited in order to generate the code for the machining.The wood finish comes from an 18th century Japanese technique, “Shou Sugi Ban”, which involves charring a wood surface to render it a deep charcoal black.A few brass ants inhabit the fruits and vegetables, giving an extra note of hedonism to this unique piece resulting from hundreds of coding and machining hours.
