About the Item
Photo-realist oil painting of a classic red brick building exterior in New York City
Oil on linen mounted on panel in a handmade walnut frame
10 x 27 x 2 inches framed
Wire backing for seamless hanging
This contemporary, realistic oil painting of a New York City brick building exterior was painted by Richard Britell in 2019. Employing his mastery of the troupe l'oeil technique, Britell paints the bright red brick building in extreme detail assuming a three-dimensional quality with close attention paid to shadow and perspective. Located on Myrtle Avenue, this building is reminiscent of neo-classical architecture, popularized in the late 1800's. The striking red exterior contrasts against the soft orange and black stone window trims, further accentuating the painting's troupe l'oeil qualities. The painting is on wood panel and framed in a custom, artist made walnut frame with wire on the back for seamless hanging.

- Lotus No. 34 (Photo-Realist Still Life Painting of Pink & Green Lotus Flowers)By Frank DePietroLocated in Hudson, NYPhotorealist still life painting of pink lotus flowers with brown lotus pods and green petals against a light grey background oil on canvas, 16 x 16 inches, 17 x 17 inches in dark wood moulding Signed lower right Painted with the exactness of a still life photograph, this hard edge realist painting by artist Frank DiPetiro features a brown lotus pod, light pink flower, with lush green leaves on a pale grey-blue background. Inspired by close observations of the natural world and encounters with still moments that give us pause. Lines, shapes and colors encountered in nature, reveal the cycles of decay and regeneration that are life’s constant state of change. The work has a quiet, meditative quality. The subject is portrayed in a manner true to their existence in a specific time and place and selected based on considerations of visual relationships to formal elements of painting. Aspects of photo realism, hard edge and color field techniques are utilized to isolate the uniqueness of the subject’s detail, as well as emphasize flatness and illusion of depth within the two-dimensional space of the painting. About the artist: Frank DiPietro was born and raised in Scranton PA. He received a Bachelor of Art from Bloomsburg University in 1997, majoring in both Painting and Ceramics with a minor in Art History. In 2000 he earned a degree in Art Education from Moore College of Art and Design while continuing his studies in painting. Frank lived in Philadelphia for twelve years painting and teaching at several museums, art centers and schools in the region. In 2010 he and his family moved to Chester County PA, where he currently resides. Frank currently teaches painting classes and workshops at the Delaware Art Museum and Longwood Gardens...Category

- "Berries and Cream" Photo-Realist Still Life 3 Fruits in Glass Compote on BlueBy Mary Ellen JohnsonLocated in Wellesley, MAMary Ellen Johnson is internationally recognized as one of the top Photo Realist painters working today whose extraordinary area of expertise is images of food. Johnson actually describes herself as a ‘Precision Realist’ whose primary subject is food - cheesecakes, PB & J sandwiches, parfaits, pancakes, banana splits, ice cream, hot dogs, cupcakes, waffles, muscles, sushi, etc.. These brilliantly painted works capture every nuance and are rendered with amazing precision. Stunningly beautiful and incomparably 'real,' her paintings are a delight in terms of subject matter, color, perfect composition, and whimsy, with an approachable quality that elevates them far beyond expertly executed mechanical renderings. "Berries and Cream" 2015 Oil on Wood Panel 20 x 24 x 1 Inches Note: This painting is framed in white wood. Unequaled for their brilliance and dramatic depictions of mundane subjects with their connotations of nostalgia, comfort and tradition, it is also her scale, cropping and extraordinary technical skill that render these works so overwhelmingly appealing. Johnson's paintings are acknowledged by the leading collectors in the country to represent the very best of the Photorealist tradition: “I make the panels large to give a monumental feeling to the painting when viewed. These large images not only confront the viewer with their size but with their tremendous sense of extravagance. My work explores the deep connection that food has with humanity.” Mary Ellen Johnson Included among the many accolades received for Johnson's work is a commission by the Canadian Government to paint 5 of Canada's favorite foods, images which were then translated into stamps, as well as a commission from The Cheesecake Factory's chain of restaurants for a "Strawberry Cheesecake with Whipped Cream" for their corporate headquarters in California.
