| Jean Pilch, "At the Foot of the Monarch", pastel pencils on paper |
From Pilch's artist statement:
Pablo
Picasso said, “We all know that Art is not truth…The artist must know the
manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.”
My detailed
representational artwork has sometimes been described as “photorealism” or
“high reality”. At openings, I have frequently heard the comment. “It looks
like a photograph”. Although I do take reference photos and use them while I
work, a filtering process of selection and interpretation takes place from the
time I compose my photo to the final completion of the artwork.
In “Edited
Realism”, my objective is to show my particular version of “truth” as
convincingly as possible.
