Rackstraw Downes

Rackstraw Downes is a realist painter and author. His oil paintings are notable for their meticulous detail, depiction of industry and the environment, and elongated compositions with complex perspective. Devoid of narrative, politics or nostalgia, Downes locks the viewer into the full view, both in detail and scope, and then rivets the location to a specific time. Downes lives and works in New York.
