After Reading Print

This work is the third in a series of works executed with 3 stretched canvases using trompe l'oeil effects, playing with the illusions of two- and three-dimensionality. A reversed canvas creates a recessed "room" with a partial curtain hanging on a wooden rod. One small canvas forms the raised background for sheep-like wooden clouds. A painted basket hangs from threads. Though it looks 3-dimensional, the background canvas is flat. The only three-dimensional object on that canvas is the book spine sitting on a red box. Unlike the first two works in the series, the sculptured person is gone, leaving only a flat sketch in an inverted stretched canvas. Without seeing the actual work, it is difficult to differentiate between "real" and painted surfaces.These three-dimensional pictures were my response to the challenge of making a work of art that could not be exactly copied. Another challenge that I took up in these works was to make similar works of art whose structural balance depended on juxtaposition of many colored spaces. In other words, I wanted to take an abstract approach to realistic subjects.
