see-through plastic bag, and in fact it is the incredible detail in the bag that I admire the most. However, I still remember when speaking about the painting with one of the curators at Plus One, the difficulty I had in referring to “the bag”. It seemed strange to be describing that I liked the work put into this aspect of the painting, and to refer to it as a “plastic bag”, that most disposable of objects, seemed somehow to belittle the worth of the painting! But this I think also encapsulates the talent of the photorealist – to be able to be so fully engrossed in the painting, so that every small detail is given equally worthy attention.
