Daniel Dan Douke (American, b. 1943) Romeo Y Julieta Cigar Box Acrylic on Canvas Painting Artwork.
Made Circa 1995.
A really cool, fun and interesting piece of Pop Art.
Oversized cigar box Painting. Very realistic looking. All hand-painted,
Stands out in any room placed.
Mixed media construction; wood, acrylic on canvas. Signed D. Douke, 1995 on lower right underside corner.
47" high x 60" wide x 9.5" deep
Great condition. Ready to hang.
Douke work offers a combination of the meticulous attention to detail of seventeenth-century Dutch breakfast pieces, the trompe-l‰ЫЎ_З_гoeil skill of quattrocento illusionistic painters, and a reverence towards discarded objects. He is at once a master painter and sculptor, shaping the support upon which he paints to mirror the shape of the object he chooses to depict.
