art by Mary Pratt
Art today comes from Canadian, Mary Pratt (1935-2018), who is well known for still lifes and domestic scenes painted in a meticulous photorealist style, often with an intense use of colour. Explore her work here. In the above piece, I see my young self a little too vividly, minus the red rug.
