FOUNTAINSIDE GALLERY
WELCOMES
NEW ARTIST
JOE SEME
North Carolina Realist artist Joe Seme paints landscapes and still lifes in his marsh side studio in Wilmington, North Carolina.He is known nationally for his incredibly detailed sporting still life and trompe l’oeil paintings of “Americana” and folk art antiques, sports memorabilia, including golf, baseball, tennis, billiards and equestrian subjects, hunting and fishing artifacts, old advertising and antique toys.
An admitted “pack rat,” his collections include books, decoys, corkscrews, shotgun shell boxes, tin toys, oyster cans, and other “stuff,” all of which eventually becomes subject matter for his paintings. Many of his paintings can take several months to complete, and as Joe says, “To spend that kind of time on something, you have to love it.”
Trompe l'oeil literally translates from French to mean "fools the eye." Hard to paint, the trompe l'oeil piece requires meticulous attention to detail on the part of the artist. Proper sizing and every detail, nuance of light and gradation of color must be skillfully incorporated in order to make the two-dimensional work appear to be three-dimensional.Fountainside Gallery is pleased to share Joe's painting with our friends; drop in today to see these extraordinary pieces!
