Douwe Elias (1952)
Pastry
2000 | oil paint on board | 41 × 42 cm
In this work, Douwe Elias applies his paint generously, almost like how someone would ice a cake.
Elias uses details only where absolutely necessary. He’s more interested in the overall effect. He’s added extra oil to his paint in this work to create greater shine and depth. The velvety chocolate colour of the platter makes it look nearly as tempting as the cake itself.
