William Shearburn Gallery: Friday, 7 November 2008
Tim Liddy: Strategem
Opening at the St. Louis gallery with a reception for the artist
Friday, November 7 from 6 to 8 pm
The exhibition continues through December 13, 2008
Tim Liddy's paintings, trompe-l'oeil renditions of original game lids, explore the nostalgia of the past as well reference subtle connotation of current times. Each work is a replication of a found board game, painstakingly rendered to capture the essence of the original box lid and its demise overtime. From coffee stains to edges that were reinforced with tape, to phone numbers scribbled across the edge, Liddy has meticulously recreated these box lids, to the exact dimension of the original.
