Cabinectomy
A meticulously rendered still life depicting a wooden cabinet or cupboard that appears to have been surgically opened or dissected, revealing its interior contents with clinical precision. Neil Raitt's hyperrealistic oil painting blurs the boundary between the domestic and the medical, treating an everyday piece of furniture as though it were a specimen under examination. The work invites reflection on the hidden lives of ordinary objects and the curious impulse to expose what is typically concealed.
