Wall 1: Trompe L'oeil acrylic painting


Wall I 24” x 37” acrylic on gessoed panel


Detail 1


Zoom Detail 2

This is an example of a larger work done in similar style as the previous two small paintings. This work required a lot of time to paint and is done in what the French sometimes called “Trompe L’Oeil”, a type of illusionism that, in French means “a deceit of the eye” or “fool the eye”. The light is coming from the upper left side, so the painting needs to have actual light coming from that direction to feel correct in a room or gallery. The painting is 1/8” Masonite mounted on a wood frame almost 2” thick, so it works best hanging on a wall without a frame.
I call these works "self framed".

This painting is also available for sale but at a much higher price level than the small blog works because of the committment of time and work necessary to complete and is for the serious art collector. If you are interested in pricing on this work, send an email to: wolberinchina@hotmail.com
