The artist’s still lifes emphasized the two-dimensionality of three-dimensional objects featured in the compositions. Beaulieu flattened the round fruit and jug, creating a tension between the dimensional qualities the viewer witnesses and what they know to be true. Lush colours of burgundy, deep purple, vibrant crimson and yellows are punctuated by contrasting aquamarine blues within the scene. The vertical axis of the picture plane moves forward, giving the viewer a more arial perspective of the spread, the depth of the image plane being flattened as the viewer gazes upon the work. Experimenting with depth, colour and elements of post-impressionism, Beaulieu delivers a vibrant canvas with purpose and intensity.
