About the Item

Represented by George Billis Gallery. Glenn Ness is recognized for his photorealistic oil paintings of vacant backyards, landscapes, urban streets, and interiors. Ness’s compositions are flooded with his signature warm light. Inspired by painters such as the British modernist David Hockney and American suburbia-chronicler Eric Fischl, Ness often depicts unoccupied poolside scenes. The artist has described his work’s theme as isolation without loneliness. When Ness’s paintings include figures, they are often framed from an oblique angle or from behind—a decision that allows the action to unfurl around them. Ness received a BS in art education from Northwest Nazarene University in 1987. His work has been shown in galleries across the U.S. and in the invitational juried exhibition “Expressions West” at the Coos Art Museum (2018).

  • "Strawberry Sundae" Delicious Photo Realism of Vanilla Cream & Whipped Cream
    By Mary Ellen Johnson
    Located in Wellesley, MA
    Mary Ellen Johnson "Strawberry Sundae" 2018 Oil on Panel 39.75 x 34.25 Inches Note: This painting is framed in dark cherry wood. Mary Ellen Johnson is internationally recognized as one of the top Photo Realist painters working today whose extraordinary area of expertise is images of food. Johnson actually describes herself as a ‘Precision Realist’ whose primary subject is food - cheesecakes, PB & J sandwiches, parfaits, pancakes, banana splits, ice cream, hot dogs, cupcakes, waffles, muscles, sushi, etc.. These brilliantly painted works capture every nuance and are rendered with amazing precision. Stunningly beautiful and incomparably 'real,' her paintings are a delight in terms of subject matter, color, perfect composition, and whimsy, with an approachable quality that elevates them far beyond expertly executed mechanical renderings. Unequaled for their brilliance and dramatic depictions of mundane subjects with their connotations of nostalgia, comfort and tradition, it is also her scale, cropping and extraordinary technical skill that render these works so overwhelmingly appealing. Johnson's paintings are acknowledged by the leading collectors in the country to represent the very best of the Photorealist tradition: “I make the panels large to give a monumental feeling to the painting when viewed. These large images not only confront the viewer with their size but with their tremendous sense of extravagance. My work explores the deep connection that food has with humanity.” Mary Ellen Johnson Included among the many accolades received for Johnson's work is a commission by the Canadian Government to paint 5 of Canada's favorite foods, images which were then translated into stamps, as well as a commission from The Cheesecake Factory's chain of restaurants for a "Strawberry Cheesecake with Whipped Cream" for their corporate headquarters in California. MARY ELLEN JOHNSON Born: 1967, West Long Branch, NJ. Education: Ringling School of Art and Design, Sarasota, FL, 1989. Exhibitions: ONE PERSON EXHIBITIONS: Beth Urdang...
