CARDBOARD PAINTINGS
These paintings adopt the tradition of oil portraiture in hopes of elevating cardboard as an integral part of commercial society. Though it altruistically protects and carries objects more valuable than itself, it is ultimately discarded. These works honor its quiet sacrifice, preserving it as one might a figure of great importance.
This series of oil on canvas paintings employs the trompe l'oeil technique, which translates to "fool the eye." Dating back to ancient Greece and Rome, this method creates an optical illusion of a real object on a flat surface. So no, that’s not a real fragile sticker you see, it’s an oil painting!
