Williams Daniels "Paintings"
Luhring Augustine Gallery
This event has ended.
Daniels is best known for his meticulous trompe l'oeil works depicting famous art historical paintings. He creates maquettes of the source paintings out of simple materials such as paper, cardboard or aluminum foil which are then photographed to serve as models for painstaking detailed facsimiles in oil paint. Recognizable, but pared down and muted in tone, the small-scale works are at once a still-life and a rendering of the original artwork, and call into question issues of representation, documentation and authenticity.
