Murray Favro

Sunlight on Table and Floor

1991
At first sight, this work appears to be an ordinary domestic interior, but upon closer inspection we realize that the light cast onto the table and floor is an illusion. By sanding and painting the wooden surfaces, Favro replicates the effect of sunlight entering through a window, demonstrating his interest in the reproduction of objects and perceptual phenomena.
