About the Item

Original acrylic photorealist architectural painting in full and dazzling color, where a "SOLD" sign hangs on a San Francisco Chinatown building for sale. The complex scene features light and shadow falling across tiered metal balconies, clothing hanging out to dry — including a bed sheet patterned with Teddy Bears — and a real estate sign in full sun. Lynette Cook's contemporary photorealistic acrylic paintings capture SF and other Northern California towns which convey the stories of their inhabitants. The exterior facades of urban dwellings that are both architecturally complex — and mundane — are the focus of her Shadows and Silhouettes series. The paintings feature the rhythmic dark-light dance of light traveling through wrought-iron balconies and inner-city fire escapes, as well as shadows cast from clean laundry hanging out to dry. The work captures that which is universal and connects all people in their elemental desire to create a sense of home. This important series that was exhibited at California’s Morris Graves Museum in 2016. In the same year the artist was awarded a prestigious Jackson Pollock citizenship Foundation honorary grant.
