It's not really post-modern...but it's something. Paintings of contemporary, manufactured objects push the still life to a strange place, but perhaps not so strange when people look back at them in another 30 years. There're Gautam Rao's Mac paintings (where's the spinning pizza of death?); Darren Hager's sneakers (or Dave White's, if you like more action to them); bicyclepaintings.com can sate your appetite for things that go, or Mike Sugarbaker has a "Painter painting" of a phone. (How's that!) Art history or design history? Homage or fetishism?
