Thomas Broadbent"Beyond Reach" Surrealist Still Life Painting of books with ladders

Hardbound books in black, orange and yellow are stacked with magazines and soft cover books. In a surreal shift of scale bright orange construction ladders are leaned against the books, giving the impression that the books are either very large, or the ladders are very small.
