The White Pipe (30 × 30 cm, oil on canvas)
Richard Beerhorst’s Thirty by Thirty series transforms humble, everyday objects into portals of presence. In The White Pipe, a long clay pipe stretches across a small round table, surrounded by a spool of green thread, a blue bottle, sewing needles, a watermelon wedge, and a thimble. The stillness of these ordinary items carries a quiet charge, recalling Morandi’s contemplative intimacy and Chardin’s domestic poetry. Beerhorst draws us into a world where memory, craft, and sustenance converge — the fruit, the flame, the stitch, and the smoke all humming in balance on the small wooden stage.
