Peter Langer, Photographer, London

Description

This vertical still life photograph features a precariously balanced stack of three nail polish bottles positioned against the wooden stretcher frame and white stretched fabric of an artist canvas. The top bottle is a vibrant red with a ridged nude-colored cap, resting inverted upon a middle nude-colored bottle, which in turn balances on another vertically aligned bottle cap. A bright blue nail polish bottle extends horizontally from the lower section of the stack. The composition plays with geometric forms and contrasting primary and neutral colors against a minimalist background. The lighting is clean and directional, casting soft shadows that emphasize the glossy surfaces of the glass bottles and the coarse texture of the canvas.
