About the Item

Hyperreal oil painting of plywood board by Anthony Adcock - Oil on ACM (aluminum composite material) **No wood was used in this piece. It is an oil painting - painted by hand on ACM panel. Everything, including the wood grain and pencil lines, is hand-painted with oil paint. **Note: a 2' x 2' foot square hole is cut out of the center of the panel. Anthony Adcock's hyperreal oil paintings and sculptures literally resemble the objects found on a job site: pieces of worn plywood, rusty I-beams, scrap rebar, work tools, etc., and are often dismissed as debris and not actual artwork. Adcock is a superb example of a Conceptual Realist who utilizes realism as a point of departure, focusing on the essence of the subject matter rather than verisimilitude. He creates his artwork by synthesizing the knowledge gleaned from three generations of builders, his comprehensive understanding of the trade, and an uncompromising studio practice dedicated to advancing realism. By combining his expert understanding of construction with the intellectual rigor of abstract painting via realism, Adcock's artwork oscillates between amazement and absurdity.   Hyperrealism, realism, realist, conceptual realism, trompe l'oeil, conceptual art, conceptual realism, construction, wood, plywood, building materials, oil painting, contemporary art, abstraction, abstract painting, tromp l'oeil painting

  • Wonder, or The Plane of the Invisible - blue trompe l'oeil oil painting
    By Anthony Mastromatteo
    Located in Sag Harbor, NY
    In the trompe l'oeil panel painting, "Wonder, or the Plane of the Invisible," a comic cut-out of Wonder Woman sits between two spatial planes—the top, very flat plane is cut out in the shape of a plane as a play Wonder Woman's famous "Invisible Plane." The silly way the comic book character would sit in an imaginary seat flying through the air would force the artist to wonder, “how do you represent an invisible plane”. Here, we see a bright blue canvas, sprinkled with glittery paillettes; an outline of an airplane beneath an outline of the word “SKY”, an infantile depiction of the sun made of masking tape, and finally, the hero, Wonder Woman, her comic clipping taped onto the invisible plane. A very believable, naturalist blue sky with puffy white clouds is visible through the letters and the invisible airplane. It feels like we can reach into the invisible plane to find the natural world…yet atop the plane is an old cartoon of the first female superhero. She overlaps the realistic atmosphere, and even casts a shadow onto it. The planet’s orbit is dedicated to the sun, and all living things need the light to survive…yet this most important element is made up of a crude array of tape strips, asymmetrical, and even torn in-half. This sun refers back to Pablo Picasso’s sun...

  • Felix Culpa, or Must be a Woe - trompe l'oeil oil painting
    By Anthony Mastromatteo
    Located in Sag Harbor, NY
    Continuing his affinity for Malevich’s geometric paragon is Felix Culpa or ‘Must be a Woe,” this time, in red. Three red squares hover above Christ suffering on the cross—one of the most recognizable images in art history—yet here, no wooden cross is in sight. Christ simply floats against a white wall. The three “Red Squares” map the edges of the invisible crucifix, and an old violin...

  • "3 Pears Still Life with illusions" 40x50" soft focus oil on canvas
    Located in Southampton, NY
    This oil painting from 1985 is priced at a fraction of the original price. It was in our storage area and we just decided to put it on sale at a price which is a fraction of the original price. These still life with illusion paintings were originally sold in New York City at the D&D building on 59th street. It was a building that only interior designers were allowed to shop at. the general public could only go in with their interior designer to select an item. This came from the Haller Gallery in that space. It was originally priced at $3500 when at the gallery in the D&D building in NYC. It is oil on canvas and in very subtle colors. The top right area of the canvas show slight lines of cracking to the paint. You can see that on one of the close up images. The pale thick colors (The illusions) give a 3d floating look. We have another Still Life with 4 Pears also on sale this week.
