Artwork Description:
The still life with the symbol of death - a human skull in the shades of green and black. The cranium is rendered in a blurry style inspired by the photo-based art of Gerhard Richter, whose work was new to Nicholaas Chiao at the time. The position of the cranium, composition, and lighting make the artwork unique in its own way, despite the blurred technique and stylistic familiarity.
