Sous Chef Nix

Sous Chef Nix is an original acrylic painting on an 18" x 24" canvas — a portrait of a woman who is clearly the most entertaining person in any kitchen she has ever entered. She stands front and centre, both arms raised, a mismatched oven mitt on each hand — one yellow with red cherries, one deep burgundy with white dots — held up with the cheerful helplessness of someone who has just remembered something is in the oven. Her expression is wide-eyed and perfectly calibrated: somewhere between delighted and mildly alarmed. She wears a yellow sundress printed all over with red cherries and green leaves, its neckline and straps trimmed in red. Her hair is a voluminous violet-purple updo, her eyes bright blue, her lips a bold fuchsia-pink. From her ears hang small cherry drop earrings — a committed woman. The background is a vivid cerulean blue covered in large, darker tonal polka dots, giving the whole composition the graphic energy of a vintage kitchen print come gloriously to life. Pure paint, pure cherries, pure Nix. A one-of-a-kind original by Branka, created once and never again.
