About the Item
'Torn Poster' 47 1/2 x 36 inches, iconic trompe l'oeil fireworks still life oil on canvas painting from internationally acclaimed American Realist James Torlakson, whose work depicts majesty in the mundane. Torlakson’s everyday “Americana” scenes include suburban landscapes, traveling carnivals, standing fireworks booths, abandoned drive-in theaters, and autobiographical still life scenes from his Bay Area neighborhood memories and travels. Torlakson is a contemporary artist, proficiently working in oil, watercolor and intaglio etching, and employing European master techniques to create compelling works that pull the viewer in, such as the solo light from his neighborhood street at dusk.

Felix Culpa, or Must be a Woe - trompe l'oeil oil painting
By Anthony Mastromatteo
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
