Down at the lake – Amy Bennett

We’ve got a bit of a thing for tilt-shift at Jam, and Amy Bennett’s work is in the vein.

Amy builds miniature diaromas and then paints them. The result is a step beyond tilt-shift or photos of miniatures like you find on little people, and is a bit of a nod towards hyperrealism and photorealism (check out Ralph Goings as a good example of this kind of work).

It’s quite cool that there’s a bit of a juxtaposition between painting something that’s an imitation of real life in a hyperrealist style. And it kind of reminds me of Beetlejuice.
