Sponsored by: Phillip S. Cooke
and Daniel D. Maye
With Additional support from the
Goldstein Family
Foundation
Kentucky artists such as Tom Pfannerstill, Frank Weisberg and Ron
Isaacs have long been known for their uncanny knack in being able to reproduce
objects in wood, clay and paint that convince the viewer that what they are seeing is actually what it appears to be. Upon closer
inspection the viewer comes to understand that the skills of the artist have
given an impression of a reality that does not.
Trompe L'Oeil is an art
technique involving extremely realistic imagery in order to create the optical
illusion that the depicted object really exists, instead of being a mere
representation. The name is derived from French for 'trick the eye';
tromper - to deceive and l'oeil - the eye.
The works of the artists included in this
exhibition are masterpieces of illusion, and highlight exquisite control over
both materials and colors.
List of invited
artists: Julie
Allen, Dixie Biggs, Karen Vance Chickadel, Cynthia Consentino, Lia Cook, Karen Dahl, Paul

This exhibition will also feature five pieces made from culinary
materials, created by students from the Baking and Pastry Arts Program
at Sullivan
University under
the direction of Chef Derek Spendlove CEPC, CCE, AAC. The students used
ingredients such as butter, marzipan, sugar, chocolate and bread to assemble
these exquisite sculptures, which will be on display for the entire duration of
the show.
There will be an opening reception at the
Museum on Friday, February 22 from 5:00 - 7:30, which will feature gourmet
refreshments prepared by Sullivan
University and Juleps Catering.
