MASTER OF ILLUSION
Seeing Ron Isaacs’ “Into the Garden,” a vibrant green dress adorned with foliage, you’d never guess that the only elements at work are birch plywood and paint. Isaacs joins two fellow Kentucky artists, Tom Pfannerstill and Frank Weisberg, as well as 20 other North American artists, in “Made to Deceive: The Art of Trompe l’Oeil,” on view through May 24 at the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft. The show even features five works made from edible materials including butter, marzipan, sugar, chocolate and bread, taking the idea of optical illusions to a whole new level.
