Oil paintings by Alyssa Monks
hyper-realistic oil painting by New York based artist Alyssa Monks, who uses filters such as glass, vinyl, water, and steam to distort her subjects.
I chased realism until it began to unravel and deconstruct itself. I am exploring the possibility and potential where representational painting and abstraction meet – if both can coexist in the same moment – A. Monks

One Duck
The feathers from one single duck are put together in a tapestry highlighting the reflection of color and the forms of the feathers.
A duck swims, walks and flies in the landscape. Then the hunter comes and shoots the duck to keep the population of these animals in balance.
The dead duck ends up in a slaughter house, where I found it. I took the feathers and put them together again, in this way I’m trying to keep the feeling of untouchable wildness alive.
