Out on a Limb

Out on a Limb

Like most of my work posted here this is a photograph of a two-dimensional painting. Contrary to all appearances, this is a flat trompe l’oeil painting. It is cut from a single sheet of 3/4 inch birch plywood and then painted to allow real shadows to fall on the wall which match up with the painted shadows. In addition to the branch, I decided to cut out the shape of a prominent blue brushstroke, allowing it to be perceived as floating and leaving the “canvas.”

This particular painting is c. 34×38 inches in scale. To learn more please see my artist statement or visit my website at RobertTynes.com .
