Over the Easter holidays I created this painting, ‘Illusory Room’, which is a development of some drawings I did which in turn were composed of a mixture of different elements that I took from various paintings / prints that I had done previously.
My painting includes a lamp whose trim is dripping downwards as if melting, a detatched door with paint escaping under it into the interior, and a bunch of lilies hovering above the top of a coffee table without a vase. The walls, which slant off in different directions unlike any normal interior, are painted as if dripping downwards and merging into the floor. In this way I have designed this interior to appear as an imagined space whose fictional nature is beginning to become more apparent, as with the paint dripping under the door, exposing its illusory nature.
