Wayne Thiebaud's "Candy Sticks" is a vibrant oil on linen painting that showcases the artist's signature style of rendering everyday confections with bold, luscious brushwork and striking color. The candy sticks are depicted with meticulous attention to their cylindrical forms, their bright hues offset by Thiebaud's characteristic use of thick, creamy paint that gives the objects an almost sculptural quality. True to his pop-influenced sensibility, Thiebaud elevates these humble sweets into objects of visual delight, celebrating the simple pleasures of American consumer culture.
