About the Item

Hyperrealist oil painting of a muddy road sign with gold leaf detail by Anthony Adcock. Medium: Oil and 23.5 gold leaf on aluminum. Size: 15 x 10 inches. **No wood or mud/concrete was used in this painting - It is an oil painting with oil and gold leaf on aluminum panel. What looks like mud is, in fact, layered oil paint, which is painted in detail by hand. Anthony Adcock is a superb example of a Conceptual Realist artist 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, challenging the viewer to trust what they see is, in fact, a hand-drafted painting.

Initialed lower left, 'RCW' for Richard Whitten (American, born 1958) and dated, lower right, in Roman numerals, 2009. Formerly in the collection of the Triton Art Museum, Santa Clara, California.

A native of New York City, Richard Whitten first attended the Collegiate School before studying economics at Yale where he received his BA in 1980.
