Five cantaloupes, rendered in warm amber and black against a composition of overlapping blue and teal rectangles, float in a pictorial space that has nothing to do with the domestic tradition of the genre and everything to do with the graphic environment of 1970s commercial design — the \"space\" of the title suggesting both the compositional void and the visual register of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe cantaloupes are simultaneously hyper-real and entirely artificial: the texture of their skin rendered with photographic precision by Rupert Jasen Smith's screenprinting, the colour flat and saturated, the shadows absolute black, the background a combination of cobalt and periwinkle blue that situates the fruit in a chromatic field of pure Pop invention. The teal element — a dish or tray beneath and between the fruits — introduces a further colour that completes the palette with the assurance of a colourist working at the height of their powers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis impression is a proof apart from the main edition of 150 — inscribed verso \"A183.091\" with the authentication stamp — placing it in the category of impressions produced outside the numbered edition and typically considered among the most desirable.
