Label TextMagee’s painting Profile is a fine example of the artist’s meticulous paintings of mundane objects. The artist brings together two seemingly unrelated objects—a sheep skull from Mosquito Island in Maine and a shipping box from the art supply firm, Daniel Smith Company. The juxtaposition provides the viewer the opportunity to contemplate this odd combination of curious items.
