Description
Some tables tell stories. And this one? This one whispers a quiet, delicious moment.
“Table with Oysters” is a textile artwork by British artist Andrew Pierce Scott that transforms an everyday dining scene into a soulful ritual. Using only recycled fabrics, Scott creates a contemporary still life with echoes of the old masters: a plate of opened oysters, a perfectly ripe lemon, a bottle of wine, a half-filled glass, and a small knife resting on the edge. All of it laid out on a deep black background that wraps the scene in intimacy—like you’ve just pulled up a chair.
The framing adds even more character: a painted green shadow box bordered by a carved wooden frame, naturally worn and revealing hints of a warm wine-colored patina. The kind of detail that doesn’t just frame the work—it becomes part of the story.
Andrew Pierce Scott is known for honoring both materials and the beauty of the everyday. Every piece of fabric has lived a previous life, and in his hands, it becomes something entirely new. No brushes, no oils—just stitches that shape light, shadow, and texture with exquisite subtlety.
This piece is perfect for those who love art that tells a story. For those who find meaning in daily rituals, and who see the act of sharing a meal not just as nourishment—but as poetry.
