Madison artist Doug Fath's intimately sized compositions painstakingly document contemporary American roadside kitsch. The black and white paintings treat landscapes and the bizarre, exaggerated figures of advertising alike, proposing them as plausible additions to their natural surroundings. Fath's expert eye for texture brings a striking sense of realism and atmosphere to his work.
