Limon

About the Item

'Limon' depicts the sun lit facade of a classic California building with terra-cotta roof tiles and at the sign for Limon restaurant, a well known spot in Burlingame and the clear blue California sky. The work of art is meticulously hand painted by Lynette Cook, who realistically depicts scenes of the Bay Area that she sees during her morning walks through the city, yet her paintings tend to reveal more than what initially meets the eye. "Limon"is a beautiful 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. "Limon" is an original acrylic on canvas painting. The overall dimension is 16 x 12 inches. Hand painted in 2021, Condition is excellent. Signed front and verso, dated and titled by artist.
