Alice, 2015

A long, low still life worked in acrylic and collage on paper. Mikhail Mikora lines up tall bottles and a couple of glasses along a pale table, with a wide footed bowl of fruit, maybe pears, on the right. A loose tumble of grapes and small fruits spills across the middle. The palette stays muted, greys and olive browns with a few flicks of red, and printed text from the collage shows through, including the letters "acchi". Look at the far left and you find a small dark figure walking, tiny against the bottles, which gives the whole arrangement an odd shift in scale.
