Deborah Oropallo is a Bay Area painter noted for her masterful handling of paint. Her canvases are cryptic, often featuring trompe d'oeil objects or enigmatic texts on a solid ground. Her paintings are deliberately dramatic, with the objects--floating hats, bugles, ropes, and words--presented like props in an ambitious magic show.
