Description
Tauseef Khan | Novelda Castle Reflection | Oil on Canvas | H 36 x W 48 inches | 2024 (Rolled & Delivered)
This painting is a striking example of hyperrealism, where meticulous detail and visual precision create an almost photographic illusion. The artist presents an intricate architectural structure, possibly inspired by European or Moorish design, with its ornate arches, domes, and textured brickwork. What makes the composition extraordinary is the presence of multiple wine glasses in the foreground — each glass capturing and distorting the building’s reflection in a mesmerizing play of light, refraction, and symmetry. The transparent surfaces magnify and twist the architectural forms, creating a rhythmic dance between clarity and distortion. Set against a bright blue sky dotted with soft clouds, the warm tones of the structure contrast beautifully with the cool transparency of the glass. The painting celebrates perception and craftsmanship, turning a simple still life into a sophisticated exploration of perspective, realism, and the beauty found in optical illusion.
