Seated at a table laden with delicacies served on delicate tableware is an elegant woman. Through the window, one can glimpse the idyllic setting of the lake mentioned in the title. The paintings hanging on the walls serve as a reflection of the woman’s inner state and imbue the entire piece with her tremulous mood.
The interiors in Wood’s works suggest privilege and comfort, while the perspectives he creates suggest that not everything is as it seems beneath their luxuriously painted surfaces. The artist offers a subtle social critique through the combination of subject matter and style.
