Notes
"The work of Cape Town artist Caryn Scrimgeour is a playfully deceptive and decidedly contemporary take on one of the oldest genres in art history – the still life. Scrimgeour creates intricate birds-eye views of objects scattered on patterned fabrics – the aftermath of strange dinner parties. Her paintings resist the conventional notion that the genre, also known as nature morte (or ‘dead nature’), is empty of life."1.
