This piece can be seen on the internet for $850.00 Lawrence's work is a documentary of this social transference of culture. She is one of the new lights to emerge from the pop-realist move ment in Britain. Influenced by photo realism in the 70's, her style moved toward romantic realism. The same clarity of technique she demonstrated in her Pop art, Lawrence applied to her still-life series, using less political subject matter. Here, she has reproduced objects to the point where they be come trompe l'oeil. The use of trompe l'oeil tradition of painting can be best explained through a basic understanding of physical perception. If the depth in a painting is removed, or very greatly reduced, then the eye may be fooled into mistaking a painted subject for a real object. As illustrated in one of Sandra Lawrence's, works, for example, the muscular adjustment required to change the focus of the eye from the fold in a napkin to the flat linen is very slight. If you paint such things, the illusion of reality may be obtained at least for the moment. The momentum of the illusion is extremely important. Our pleasure in trompe l'oeil arises from the realization that our oeil has been tromped! PLEASE NOTE: * THIS AUCTION STARTS ON SUNDAY MAY 20, 2007 AT 11:30 A.M. EST.
