“A” is for Abstract

Description

A painting by the artist Rob Grams. The original picture was painted with oil on canvas (130 x 97 cm.), in 2018.
Few things have the semiotic significance of a simple apple: Isaac Newton’s discovery of gravity, the biblical story of Adam and Eve, William Tell’s risky target, and the fruit that poisoned Snow White. For me, an apple symbolizes rebellion in the face of the establishment, elements that can be extracted in the four examples I’ve highlighted above.
More than just the apple itself, I wanted the core to be the heart of the piece. I love the etymology of the word. Core means the heart or inmost part of anything; core of fruit, the heart of lettuce, etc. Its origins coming from the Latin word for "heart", "cor".
I would go on to play with the sister piece to ""A" is for Abstract," with "Luaith"
