About the Item
In this series of trompe-l'œil oil paintings, Willard Dixon realistically recreates images of mundane objects taped to colored walls, creating a minimalistic impression that the objects exist in three dimensions. As with his other series'—landscape, skyscape and still life—Dixon’s signature calm and humble approach is paramount. This trompe l’oeil series exhibits a certain wit, perhaps due to the unassuming objects represented, including old rumpled notes scribbled across torn college-ruled paper, feathers, discarded ribbons, playing cards, and artist's drawings. The paintings are a study in form and color, with mysteries for the viewer to unravel while enjoying these optical illusions that truly “fool the eye.” Colors: Green, Blue, Red, Orange, gold
Dixon’s work can be found in numerous distinctive private and public collections, as well as the San Francisco Museum of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery.

- Still Life with PicassoBy Willard DixonLocated in Burlingame, CAWillard Dixon, who says "the charm of Still Life painting for the artist lies in the ability to manipulate ones subject matter and in the intimate, direct nature of the painting process. It is very much a studio-centric activity, complete and self-sufficient. The objects that one works with do seem to take on a life of their own, both by themselves and in their affinity for one another. They have a history, a patina, they may be new, or world-weary." The artist continues, "My collection has been substantially whittled down to an essential few over the years, yet their combinations seem infinite. There is a lengthy and persistent shuffling, adding and eliminating to find that particular combination that suddenly takes on a rightness or self-sufficiency. It is interesting how one small object of the right color in the right place can facilitate such an event, or in another case the removal of something, a simplifying. I have a feeling when composing these paintings similar to my experience of playing with my jazz...Category

- Apples and Glass, super real, illustionistic, colorful contemporary still lifeBy Douglas NewtonLocated in Brooklyn, NYOil paint on canvas Doug Newton’s hyper-real paintings observe reality, explore translucency, reflections and luminosity, and dazzle the viewer with all the ways light can transform our perceptions. His subject matter concentrates on still lives of food, toys, candy and household objects. In addition to many group shows across the country, Mr. Newton’s show, “HARD CANDY and other confections” represents his fifth solo exhibition. His paintings have been collected in numerous private collections. Mr. Newton resides in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, NY. Dr. Sonia Coman writes in her essay, Doug Newton’s hard candy: the confection of painting Doug Newton’s paintings are about… painting. The hyperrealist technique of trompe l’oeil or “trick the eye” is knowingly playful. It simultaneously calls attention to the illusion of a different material—for example, translucent candy wrappers—and the reality of the layers of paint, masterfully applied to the canvas. In that, Newton’s paintings pay homage to an esteemed series of trompe l’oeil masters, from Inquisition-era Spanish painter Francisco de Zurbarán to Gilded-Age American painter William Michael Harnett...Category
