A green apple and a red plum sit against a softly rendered background of pale cream and lavender tones. The composition is intimate and spare, allowing close study of the fruits’ individual character—the apple’s matte surface and subtle modelling contrasts with the plum’s smoother, rounder form. Horn employs acrylic with a restrained approach, building form through careful tonal gradation rather than dramatic gesture. The work exemplifies the sustained tradition of fruit still-life through a contemporary, understated lens.
