Hyper realism like that freaks me the fuck out. It's like someone putting the sun in a jar and letting you peak at it.

Me too, I think it looks great and the skill to be able to make it is mind boggling to me, but I wouldn't want to buy one
Good luck to them though, great talent

Yeah I agree. May as well just put a photo up on the wall.
Incredible skill though.

I would be interested in his process though.
I wonder if he used the technique that was shown in the documentary about copying a Vermeer.
To paint that using just your eye would probably require a near impossible level of genius.

I would be interested in his process though. I wonder if he used the technique that was shown in the documentary about copying a Vermeer. To paint that using just your eye would probably require a near impossible level of genius. Most of the elder photorealists tended to grid out their paintings like a piece of graph paper. Then sketch and finally paint in each square in a tedious, repetitive almost mathematical fashion. There are/were many old unfinished Bechtel/Goings/Bell paintings at Meisel and, the now defunct, OK harris (ivan karp). It was fascinating to see perfectly complete paintings on one side that pixelated out as you looked towards the other in an almost Matrix like way. No idea why they finished some and not others (same reason any other artist abandons a work in process I suppose) but even the unfinished works carried enormous price tags. But, they never seem to shift for obvious reasons. I asked Ivan and Lou both previously and to your point, many of the younger statesmen in that pursuit do paint freehand. I understand why people do not love the perfection of that craft but I find them , when done right, to be mesmerizing. The kicker being one's interpretation of "done right." Most of the work looks real from a distance but as you approach within a meter or so, the lesser ones to my eyes become soft and lose their focus. They no longer resemble a photo and instead look like soft brushwork. Whereas, the best ones look like a photo even from a few inches or cm's but those are the hidden gems. I used to pay closer attention to the photo realists but my biased opinion was that the the younger bunch did not possess the razor sharp execution of their predecessors so I tend to prefer the works from 40 years ago. |

I have a love-hate relationship with photo-realism (it almost sounds redundant). I love the craftsmanship, but I hate it when it's farmed out. My favorite piece of art is of this old lady by Chuck Close, at the National Gallery of Art... It is indeed mesmerizing. Carry on.... |
