"from the street"
carved wooden paintings
| | TOM PFANNERSTILL is a documenter of sorts. His meticulously recreated paintings of wrappers note the place and date the original item was found on the reverse of the work. These objects represent a small, but unvarnished truth; No longer do they depict the squeaky clean advertisements hammered at us via mass media, but now have a patina of harsh a reality and a subtle reminder of the transitory nature of all things.
His work has been seen in Las Vegas at Reed Whipple Gallery in "Allegorical Amalgamations" and the Contemporary Arts Collective in "YUM!" and in the "Here & There: exploring regionalism" show. Many of you will recognize his hydrocal hand painted Donuts we have had in the gallery for sale. We just acquired the last 12 signed donuts out of a series of 500. Who wants donuts?
