In a stunning realistic depiction, Drew McRitchie has captured the essence of a metallic object. Wonderfully detailed, the gold mask in “Shadow Dancer” leaps from the canvas as if part of the real world. To accentuate the realism, McRitchie juxtaposes the mask with a rough depiction of a wooden pole upon which the mask hangs. Even the shadow which falls upon the wall fades into the realm of the imaginary, the not real. It is only the mask that virtually extends from the painted surface, inviting us to touch what does not exist.
