Orientation

This is a painting of objects arranged on a table. It has been painted in a way that means we are never quite sure how the objects are positioned in relation to each other. The objects are almost hidden within an apparent jumble of colours and lines, but the title helps us decipher them. Going clockwise, at 12 o'clock is a bowl of fruit, at 3 o'clock is a newspaper and a bottle, at 6 o'clock is the fringed edge of a tablecloth hanging between two table legs and in the centre is a violin with its neck pointing towards 9 o'clock.
