Darren Coffield. "Pin-up". 20 x 16 inches. Signed edition of 50. $200. Part of Darren Coffield’s “Interspatial Painting” series, Pin-up uses the trompe-l’oeil technique to create the illusion of a jigsaw puzzle with the subject matter of a suggestive bathing beauty intended for informal display. Known for his “Paradox Portraits” of inverted celebrity faces, Coffield continues an exploration of distorting the familiar by obscuring the model's visage like Wallace Berman’s Untitled (Faceless Faces) collage from 1963.
