About the Item
Hyperrealist oil painting of an oxidized, rusted metal road sign with orange directional arrow detail by Anthony Adcock.

Size: 15 x 10 inches.
**No metal or rust was used in this painting—it is an oil painting with oil and gold leaf on an aluminum panel.
Anthony Adcock is a superb example of a Conceptual Realist artist who utilizes realism as a point of departure, focusing on the essence of the subject matter rather than verisimilitude.
He creates his artwork by synthesizing the knowledge gleaned from three generations of builders, his comprehensive understanding of the trade, and an uncompromising studio practice dedicated to advancing realism. By combining his expert understanding of construction with the intellectual rigor of abstract painting via realism, Adcock's artwork oscillates between amazement and absurdity, challenging the viewer to trust what they see is, in fact, a hand-drafted painting.
Much of Adcock's work walks the unpopulated crossroads of hyperrealism and minimal sculpture; it’s generally considered a “minimal trompe l’oeil” painting by many. His current body of work explores the similarities between the early Renaissance, specifically Giotto, and contemporary construction road signage. Using techniques and materials from the 1300s, he is rethinking the language of signage and asking questions like “what would Giotto do?”
