Is this artwork a painting or a photograph? At a quick glance, it appears to be a photograph, but upon closer inspection, one can see the brushstrokes. The artist paints the surface of the subject and takes a photograph of it. What looks like a light shone on the object in the work is not an actual light but chiaroscuro, an artificial effect achieved by light and shade. In the screen there are two doors of clearly different colors. Our heart is torn between the two doors standing at the boundaries of photographs vs. paintings and colors vs. colors. What is your decision?
