Cynthia Greig is an artist based in Detroit. Her work explores the concept of photographic truth and its correspondence to perceived reality. In her series Representations, she whitewashes everyday objects with ordinary house paint and then draws directly onto their surfaces and traces the edges and details with charcoal, so that the three-dimensional still lifes take on the appearance of simple charcoal drawings. She has exhibited widely around the world and her work is held in many public collections.
