circa 1986 (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off) by Tim Liddy , 13” x 19” x 1.5” oil and Enamel on formed copper.
Versatile artist Tim Liddy is well recognized for his trompe l’oeil paintings on formed copper, suggesting game board covers. Some works we have offered to the public have ended up being purchased for museum collections. Now we have others we consider highly collectible including circa 1986 (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off). This work is so perfect for the Chicago area collector. Don’t let it go elsewhere. It’s iconic!
Liddy talks about how games reflect life and have been part of diverse societies and cultures throughout time. In other words, games are stand-ins and practice for maneuvering through life. His artworks fit in both conceptual and pop culture art. Those qualities make them particularly appealing and desirable.

The superhero looms large in many of Liddy’s works, including “Angel Food” and “Devil Food.” You must look closely. The drawings through the paint are both detailed and subtle. The layers of imagery build a rich surface, always providing something more to discover and ponder.
