Jonathan Seliger: Floor Model

Jonathan Seliger transforms the familiar into works that are abstract and revealing through precise attention to detail and surreal alterations of scale and color. Seliger combines techniques of painting, printmaking, and sculpture by stretching, folding, and gluing canvases to form recognizable everyday objects, such as envelopes, shopping bags, and pillows. The accuracy with which Seliger manipulates these canvases renders them virtually indiscernible from actual objects, recalling the convincing sensibility of Pop Art pieces such as Andy Warhol’s Brillo boxes.
