Beetroot Still Life by Jonathan Mitton:
In the grand tradition of still life - from Chardin's humble kitchen scenes to Cézanne's revolutionary apples - this lenticular celebrates the profound beauty found in the everyday. Here, the beetroot emerges as an unlikely protagonist: earthy, blood-red, and magnificently terrestrial.
Captured using the precision of the Mitten LR1 linear rail system, each frame reveals the vegetable's sculptural form with mechanical accuracy, yet the result is purely organic poetry. The deep crimson that nature coaxes from soil becomes a meditation on rootedness itself—literally and metaphorically.
Where once Dutch masters arranged tulips and game birds to remind viewers of life's fleeting nature, this beetroot pulses with stubborn vitality. It's a reminder that in our age of silicon and circuits, the earth still produces its own miracles: vegetables that bleed color, roots that anchor beauty, and simple forms that confound our technological sophistication with their elegant complexity.
The lenticular format allows the beetroot to shift and breathe, never quite the same twice - much like nature itself.
Framed Lenticular. Dimensions - 50cm x 50cm (20×20in) - Square.
