About the Item
Douglas Newton is a realist painter known for his contemporary still-life works, primarily created in oil on canvas. His art emphasizes meticulous detail, vibrant reflections, and the play of light, achieved by working directly from life rather than photographs. Newton’s subjects often include food, candy, toys, and household objects, which he enlarges and decontextualizes to elevate their significance. His technique blends hyperrealism with a subtle abstract quality, drawing attention to the materiality of paint while creating strikingly lifelike illusions.
Earlier in his career, Newton explored “suburban surrealism,” painting imagined landscapes and figures. Over time, he shifted focus to still life, where he celebrates the interplay of translucency, luminosity, and texture. His works often evoke nostalgia and invite viewers to reconsider everyday objects through a lens of complexity and beauty
Three Hershey's Almond Kisses on a yellow background lit from the left. A study of reflections and textures in the foil wrappings. Mr. Newton says, "My paintings of candy are inspired by the colors of the wrappings, not by the actual candy. It is finding the beauty in the overlooked."

Douglas Newton
Douglas Newton is a realist painter specializing in contemporary still life. He paints in oil on canvas and works directly from life, not using photographs. Douglas is noted for his colorful closeups of candy and their wrappers, capturing the reflections and transparency of the foils and cellophane. There is a pop-art influence in the paintings of candy. He also paints still lives of food, toys, dolls and anything else that is visually interesting and evokes memories. His paintings have the rich beauty of oil paint, instead of the dryness of photo realism. Douglas lives and works in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. His paintings can be seen by appointment there or on his website: douglasnewtonpaintings.com. His paintings have been in numerous one and group shows and are in many private collections.

Dr. Sonia Coman writes in her essay, Doug Newton’s hard candy: the confection of painting
Doug Newton’s paintings are about… painting.
The hyperrealist technique of trompe l’oeil or “trick the eye” is knowingly playful. It simultaneously calls attention to the illusion of a different material—for example, translucent candy wrappers—and the reality of the layers of paint, masterfully applied to the canvas. In that, Newton’s paintings pay homage to an esteemed series of trompe l’oeil masters, from Inquisition-era Spanish painter Francisco de Zurbarán to Gilded-Age American painter William Michael Harnett...
