Realism and Illusion: A Solo Exhibit by Master Artist Marc Potocsky

📍 Naumann Gallery
📅 Sunday April 12
⏰ 3-5PM

Realism and Illusion serves as a comprehensive study of Potocsky’s commitment to the persuasive power of surface. The collection features a diverse array of subjects—from the high-octane gleam of classic automobiles and the electric energy of iconic rock stars to the delicate, anatomical precision of birds. Central to the show is Potocsky’s background as a master faux painter; his technical wizardry in wood graining, marbleizing, and trompe l’oeil challenges viewers to trust their eyes while questioning the very reality of the surfaces before them. The exhibition underscores a career built on precision and patience, where every brushstroke is an exercise in intimate observation. By blurring the line between representation and perception, Potocsky transforms technical excellence into a meaningful artistic language that invites the audience to slow down and reconsider the world around them.
Art with a Purpose.
In a testament to the exhibition’s spirit of care and community, Marc Potocsky will donate an original painting to be auctioned during the event to benefit the Connecticut Cancer Foundation (CCF), providing essential financial assistance to Connecticut families battling cancer.
