Julia Wachtel's *Landscape No. 13 (backyard)* is a multi-panel work executed in oil, Flashe, and lacquer on canvas, combining the flatness of commercial illustration with the tactile depth of traditional painting. The six-part composition draws on the visual language of mass media and consumer culture, fragmenting the domestic landscape into a sequence of images that feel simultaneously familiar and detached. Wachtel's signature layering of materials creates a tension between surface sheen and painterly mark, prompting reflection on how nature and everyday suburban space are mediated through popular imagery.
