New York to Sydney via LAX, SFO, HNL, & TYO - Photorealistic Painting on Canvas
By Ross Tamlin
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Ross Tamlin's unique photorealistic compositions merge traditional painting methods with modern industrial techniques to create captivating works of art. Using layers of oil and enamel paint, Tamlin creates an illusion of corrugation that adds depth and texture to his pieces. His use of industrial imagery and found objects is a nod to contemporary art, while his bold color palette and incorporation of text is a nod to the Pop Art movement.
Tamlin created this one-of-a-kind, vibrant, and colorful painting measuring 54-inches high by 44-inches wide and 1.25 inches deep with oil and enamel paint on canvas. The sides of the canvas are painted in a continuation of the front, eliminating the need for framing. In addition to being signed by the artist on the front, the artwork also comes with a certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery. The certificate guarantees the authenticity and provenance of the artwork. Free local Los Angeles are delivery. Affordable U.S. and worldwide shipping available.
In this artwork, Tamlin reworks the traditional idea of landscape painting by incorporating text and familiar places' names, such as Metropolitan cities, painted in large letters over the colorful photorealistic painted corrugated metal. This photorealistic painting by Ross...
