Fanny Brodar Raspberry Lemonade For Sale

About this work

Fanny Brodar's "Raspberry Lemonade" (2022) captures the effervescent sweetness of a simple summer pleasure, transforming an everyday beverage into a moment of pure visual delight. Rendered in oil on an intimate 5 x 5 inch wood panel, the work demonstrates Brodar's signature ability to distill joy into its most essential form—bold typography meeting luscious color in a celebration of life's small indulgences. The title evokes the tartness of citrus balanced against the deep, berry-rich sweetness of raspberry, a flavor combination that speaks to balance, refreshment, and the uncomplicated happiness of warm-weather afternoons. Brodar's visual language transforms these sensory associations into a feast for the eyes, employing her characteristic vivid palette and text-based imagery to create a work that feels both graphic and painterly, immediate yet lingering. Within Brodar's broader practice, "Raspberry Lemonade" exemplifies her ongoing exploration of food, pleasure, and the poetry hidden in ordinary moments. Her work consistently finds the extraordinary within the familiar, whether through references to travel, culinary experiences, or the emotional textures of daily life. There is a generosity in her approach—an invitation to pause and savor, to recognize that happiness often arrives in modest packages. The emotional register here is bright and welcoming, carrying a sense of nostalgia without sentimentality. The compact scale of the wood panel creates an intimate viewing experience, drawing the observer close as if sharing a secret or a favorite recipe. "Raspberry Lemonade" is available for acquisition through Guy Hepner gallery in New York.
