Masters of Illusion: Unveiling the Mystery of Trompe l'Oeil, a free exhibition about magic and illusion that takes a contemporary approach to a long tradition of ultra-realism. The tradition of Trompe L'oeil, a French term for 'fool the eye,' dates back centuries and contemporary artists in numerous media are employing methods and techniques used in trompe l'oeil to create imagery that fools the viewer into believing that it is real or as real as a photograph. Visitors will unveil some of the mystery (without discovering too many of the magicians' secrets) through hands-on elements, educational programming (such as PowerPoint examples of the artists' processes, an artist's studio diorama and hands-on samples to touch). Opening Reception: A public opening reception will be from 6:00pm to 9:00pm on Saturday, May 3rd, in the Gallery at Tempe Center for the Arts.
