PAINTINGS | Compression Fittings

As soon as artists mastered the art of rendering objects in the three dimensions, they began experimenting with ways to subvert that same illusion.   In his Compression Fitting series, Faigin creates a visual contradiction between the glittering, fully-rounded vessels and the flattened space that (impossibly) contains them; things are not what they seem.
