This past Sunday I got out of the house on an invite to the San Jose Art Museum. There was a really nest exhibition there. Fellow by the name of John Register. He does these almost photorealistic portraits of - chairs. Sofas, The odd gas station. I was riveted by a painting of an empty green armchair in aa afternoon-lit room. From ten feet away - it looked like a photo. But up close, it got a little fuzzy, like a bit of Monet had invaded. The neat thing was, though - the quality of the light. The chair and its surrounding shadow&light had this slightly superreal internally luminous quality, like th e Real Chair Essence was starting to boil through. This guy's paintings pegged the "realer-than-real" effect I've read about in accounts of the first half hour on mescaline. And his command of light and hue were - sovereign.
