| Lucky Draw #2 |
| This piece is part of a series
that depicts symbols of good luck done in trompe l’oeil (fool the eye)
style. As adults, we obtain a sense of security in our ability to
distinguish between what is real and what is not. When confronted with
something that – if only for an instant – makes us question our perception
of reality, we are intrigued and experience a thrill like a child at a magic
show. The wood frame and title card indicating the piece is "Not For Sale"
is also part of the illusion. Artwork is
always for sale, if the price is right. |
