The work of Eric Chan captures fleeting moments in time, through the subject of still life. Viewed from a vantage point, the painting features a group of pomegranates executed in deep, red colours. The interplay of dramatic light and dark tones were created through soft blends of colours. A pomegranate was split into half, revealing the juicy, glistening seeded fruit.
