Rosen Brothers - Strictly Kosher
Don Eddy was one of the founding members of the Photorealist movement in the 1960s and 70s. His airbrushed paintings, screen prints, and lithographs perfectly approximate the seemingly transparent, mechanical realism of a photograph. To achieve the almost surreal focus and heightened clarity of the camera lens, Eddy works from dozens of photographs, sometimes referring to as many as 40 images to produce a single print. As a result, Eddy's works are often visually complex, incorporating a wealth of super-focused signs and other visual details that, although rendered extremely realistically, would be impossible for the unaided human eye to optically process. In Rosen Brothers – Strictly Kosher, the interior of the butcher’s shop is obscured from view by the reflections on the store's glass window, reversing our expectations about substance and transparency.
