GOTTLIEB, Penelope

Description

Unassuming Facade
Colored pencil on paper with artist's hand—painted frame
17 1/2 x 42"
This drawing is part of a series of the artist's exploration of “homes” from bungalows to mansions. Framed in bright orange, this colored pencil image of a stucco house positioned behind hedges at left and right references one of many types of real estate listings the artist has encountered in Santa Barbara. When installed together these houses create a unique neighborhood, resulting in a surreal real estate complex comprised of the dreams and aspirations of current owners or potential buyers; artist's initials at lower right; signed and titled with gallery label on reverse.
