Description: An example of art depicting art. Nyilasi brings a Balinese stone image to life and imbues it with powerful presence. As a student at the Ontario College of Art, Nyilasi was obliged to sketch and paint based on objects he found in the Royal Ontario Museum in downtown Toronto. The textures of this egg tempera extend into a complementary frame which makes this painting stunningly attractive, elegant, and expansive.
