"It's not surprising that there are two sets of lush arrangements in Mason Pott 's Chicago studio. Photographing live bouquets of bright sunflowers, daisies, and waxy apples or magenta orchids at their peak is the first step in the artist's layered process. Post photoshoot, he translates these floral bunches into hyperrealistic paintings, with particular care in accurately capturing their textures and the interplay of light and shadow."
"Pott is known for his impeccable attention to detail, painting large-scale works in oil that immerse the viewer in fields of foliage. He often creates moody still lifes that approach such classic, timeless subject matter through a contemporary lens. In keeping with that mode of working, his latest series moves from the canvas to custom-cut aluminum panels, which trace the organic edges of each arrangement."
Mason Pott photographs live bouquets of sunflowers, daisies, waxy apples, and magenta orchids at peak bloom as the first step of a layered process. He translates those images into hyperrealistic, large-scale oil paintings that emphasize texture and the interplay of light and shadow. The paintings often take the form of moody still lifes that reframe classic subject matter through a contemporary lens. The latest series departs from traditional canvas, using custom-cut aluminum panels that follow the organic edges of each arrangement, enhancing depth and the tactile presence of leaves and petals.
