A curation by Juliana Angulo, Art Historian, Curator, and Advisor at FAREX & Singulart - Throughout the centuries, watermelons have been depicted in still lifes as symbols of joy, abundance, and vitality. This curation brings together contemporary artworks featuring this summery fruit as a whole, sliced, or in a metaphorical form. It reflects a variety of styles ranging from expressive to surreal, realistic, or minimal. The works are rich in color, while the fruit functions as both a central figure and a complementary element within the compositions. The palette revolves around nuances of greens, shades of reds, soft pinks, and deep blacks recalling its flesh, seeds, and rind. Ultimately, the watermelon is celebrated here not only for its aesthetics, but also for its cultural significance throughout the world.
