Description: Thiebaud's paintings of cakes, people and landscapes are created with the utmost care, with subjects often set in isolation on the canvas in clear compositions, glistening colours and a thick impasto. His cakes are especially well-known. Their layers of pasty, glazy paint nearly make their deliciousness palpable, giving rise to the delirious urge to simply lick the frosting off the canvas. Thiebaud calls this technique "object transference": essentially bringing an object onto the surface, almost creating sculptures out of paint. His colour schemes are remarkable too. Pastel shades and bright colours go hand in hand and shadows aren't merely dark shapes, but rainbows, nearly aureolas of colour. Exhibition: Voorlinden Museum, Wassenaar, The Netherlands (09.06.-16.09.2018).
