Almost a love story. The entwined couple provides a rare opportunity to speak of love in the world according to Bak. Many curved lines provide a sense of ease and connection that make this an almost "beautiful " Bak painting.
The voluptuous pear and the elegant are enclosed in the curves of the mouth of the pitcher and the cup albeit that the cup is fragmented.
The warmth of the colors also provides a rich sense of invitation and love. Nature is subservient to the mood of embrace and affection.
The pervasive and almost celebratory blue is uplifting. The assemblage is supported by a tree trunk and substantial branch. The pear is inviting and the bottle provides shelter for new growth. Love in the time of Bak.

Or My Cup runneth over. A glorious painting of form, color and provocative content. The Pitcher, the Pear, the Bottle and the Cup. With glorious blues! How brokenness can manifest in renewal and beauty.
