Douglas Newton
Backlit Candies, colorful super realistic oil painting of wrapped candy

2023

About the Item

The artist was inspired by backlighting some cellophane wrapped hard candy. He states, "The patterns made by the transmitted colored light seemed like something I'd never seen before. Oil paint was the best way to capture this because it can be worked wet into wet, my favorite way to paint."

    By Inkyeong Baek
    Located in New York, NY
    Oil painting on canvas by female Korean artist based in New York. Hyper-realistic, Trompe-l’œil painting that depicts an assortment of glass vessels. The glasses seem to pop off the canvas through optical illusion that renders the image in three-dimensions. Sensational paintings of glass vessels come to life in this dynamic exhibition featuring new works by Korean artist Inkyeong Baek. Demonstrating an uncanny ability to capture her subject-matter, Baek’s enchanting oil paintings glitter with a gemstone-like quality that truly captivates. The material characteristics of glass are fickle, often visually elusive. Yet each work on display beautifully illustrates, in stunning, hyper-realistic detail, an array of objects, from champagne flutes to whisky tumblers. Take the large-scale painting, Rocks...
