Lynette Cook
FADED - photorrealism hyoerrealism original painting

2019

About the Item

'Faded' depicts Chinese immigrant woman looking out from the window of her Chinatown home. The building is covered with cascading shadows that are created from the building's metal fire escape rails and stairs. The lower portion of the painting depicts an American flag mural that was likely once bright and cheery, but over time, has faded. The work of art is meticulously hand painted by Lynette Cook, who realistically depicts scenes that she sees during her morning walks through the city, yet her paintings tend to reveal more than what initially meets the eye. "Faded is a poignant and provocative original painting. Exterior facades of urban dwellings that are both architecturally complex — and mundane — are the focus of Cook’s Shadows and Silhouettes series of contemporary photorealistic acrylic paintings that capture San Francisco and other Northern California towns and convey the stories of their inhabitants. The paintings often feature the rhythmic dark-light dance of light traveling through wrought-iron balconies and inner-city fire escapes, and captures that which is universal and connects all people in their elemental desire to create a sense of home. Lynette Cook's important architectural series — Shadows and Silhouettes — was exhibited at California’s Morris Graves Museum in 2016. In the same year the artist was awarded a prestigious Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner Foundation honorary grant. And her work is currently being exhibited at the Peninsula Museum of Art in California. "Faded" is a diptych that is created in tow parts. The overall dimension is 48 x 24 inches. The top portion of the painting is 30 x 24 inches and the bottom panel is 18 x 24 inches. Hand painted in late 2019, An original acrylic on canvas painting. Condition is excellent. Signed, dated and titled by artist.
