Lisa Romerein: Blood Orange for General Public

In rich photographs of quiet drama, Lisa Romerein draws our eye to the exquisite in the everyday. Continuing a still life tradition that dates back to Dutch masters of the 1600s, she isolates ordinary plant specimens against a black background. The orange's leafy stem recedes, while its mottled texture is in visceral focus.

General Public offers a curated selection of extraordinary photographic artworks. Reflecting the origin of the term photography, or light drawing, these images masterfully capture light and use this ephemeral, elemental force to create an evocative world of drama and detail. Visionary photographers take inspiration from the physical world and the deep human connection to nature.
