At 113 cm wide and 53 cm high, the triptych has enough scale to anchor a wall. The fruit provides a familiar point of reference, while washed blocks of colour, letters and numbers lead the eye from one panel to the next.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe handling of the oil varies across the canvas. Around the fruit, the paint is built up into thicker passages of impasto, giving the forms a slight relief. Elsewhere, translucent washes let the texture of the linen show through. At the edges, areas of raw linen are left exposed, bringing the colour and weave of the support into the composition. The transitions from bare linen to thin washes and then to raised paint make the process of building up the image visible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA subtle painted inner border gives the arrangement structure, while foliate motifs and scattered typographic marks add detail within it. From across the room, the fruit and softened blocks of colour hold the three panels together. At closer range, the letters, numbers and small shifts in paint thickness give each panel its own character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe centre panel carries a painted ‘FF’ monogram.
