Andrzej Maciejewski, "Still Life with 4030 (New Zealand), 4927 (Italy), 4940 (USA), 3127 (Mexico), 4433 (Panama) and 4958 (Mexico)," 2010, archival pigment print, 24” x 30”.

The photographs in Andrzej Maciejewski’s Garden of Eden series are inspired by the still-life paintings of master painters such as Caravaggio, Luis Melendez, Willem Kalf and Jan Davidszoon de Heem. But the fruit in Maciejewski’s images comes with something a little extra and very contemporary – Price Look-Up stickers. “The 21st-century society has created a new Garden of Eden, where everything looks perfect and flawless,” says the Polish-born artist, who is based in Ontario. “But many things ... have been lost during this process.”

July 25 to Oct. 12 at the Two Rivers Gallery in Prince George.
