In this work, the artist references the Greek myth that describes a painting competition between Zuexis and Parrhasius. Parrhasius won, not because of his superior technical skill, but because he portrayed a subject so ordinary that it escaped attention. In this image, the artist merges both painters’ strategies through the depiction of an unremarkable cardboard box and the technical challenge offered by the repeating orbs of transparent grapes accented with dew.
Juliet Jacobson makes art about the act of looking and the experience of recognition. Her work draws on visual experience as conditioned by the history of visual images and literary invocations of art and representation, ranging from puns to mythology.
