Bruce Everett is part of the Photorealism movement that emerged out of Pop in the early 1970s. While many of his compatriots focused on gritty urban scenes, Everett was painting microcosms, like a box of thumbtacks or a foil gum wrapper, but at the monumental scale of nine feet wide. Ivan Karp showed Everett’s work at OK Harris (New York) in the early 1970s. Everett’s large scale object paintings were not dissimilar from landscapes and when Everett moved West, he was immediately drawn to the wildly epic landscapes he was surrounded by. His early landscape work was based on photographs taken from the ultralight he flew over the hills of Southern California - capturing dramatic raking light over craggy creeks and ridges.
