Influenced by Dutch vanitas of the 16th and 17th centuries, Belgian artist Cindy Wright creates excruciatingly detailed, large-scale portraits and still-lifes of human skin, fat, and organs. Taken from photographic images, the paintings seem hyperrealist at first, but closer inspection reveals a barrage of intense, more painterly brushstrokes. In this sense, her work plays with illusion and reality, daring the viewer to connect with the cold, lifeless subject matter.
