'Little Wave', wood, epoxy resin, aniline dye, metal and oil-based lithography ink work by John Cederquist, 1990-1991, Metropolitan Museum of Art
Cederquist is best known for his playful, trompe-l'œil wood assemblages―often in the form of pieces of furniture―that blur the distinctions between reality and illusion. He often employs cartoon-like drawings and skewed perspectives. Since 1976, he has taught at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, California.
