Margot Glass
Orange Envelope, Watercolor and pencil realist still life, 2016

2016

About the Item

Margot Glass explores the fragility of communication, and people’s natural drive to find narrative in even the most ordinary of objects. In her Envelopes series, Glass works in watercolor, pencil and silverpoint, using trompe l’oeil to highlight the paper as a still life element. The drawing becomes an object through close compositional cropping and the choice of stiff watercolor board. By omitting text, the artist adds a minimalist element to the vivid representation. Signature: Margot Glass, Orange Envelope, MG 2016 Provenance: Artist to GarveySimon, New York, NY Exhibitions: 2016, Select, GarveySimon, New York, NY

David Morrison, Wind-Up Bird No. 6, hyperrealist color pencil animal drawing
By David Morrison
Located in New York, NY
David Morrison has extended his brand of hyperrealism to the artificial, capturing the intricate lithography that decorates his collection of vintage Kohler wind-up birds. His drawings are often mistaken for a photograph from afar - on approach, they dissolve into a mesmerizing display of mark-making.This new body of work plays with the boundaries between organic and manufactured: the metal imposters are resplendent as they perch, pert and expectant, on wilting greenery. Yet another layer of irony, the toy birds...
