William N. Copley

Scotch and Soda

1982

"Scotch and Soda" by William N. Copley combines acrylic paint with actual lace affixed to canvas, demonstrating the artist's playful engagement with mixed media and everyday materials. The work reflects Copley's Surrealist sensibilities and his interest in subverting conventional artistic practices through unexpected material juxtapositions. The title itself suggests a lighthearted, perhaps ironic approach to the composition, characteristic of Copley's irreverent artistic philosophy.
