![]() ![]() What you’re seeing up there is just one of Tom Martin’s super-realistic paintings of food, and roughly what I had for breakfast this morning (I … I don’t live well.) Martin is an English painter who says he gets inspiration for his compositions from his everyday life. Everybody Gets Tempted Sometime (Tom Martin) ![]() See more things Diego doesn’t have to fight over with his wife/girlfriend/whatever at his website. Yes, his way is more complicated, and takes way more time, but at least he doesn’t have to have awkward conversations with HIS wife when the monthly Visa bill comes in the mail. But all Diego has to do is close his eyes, visualize the scene exactly as he wants to see it, and then spend weeks (months, more likely,) bringing it to life. Whenever I want to see a pretty girl in a bathtub covering herself in milk, I gotta give some shady website my credit card number. I’m just going to say it: I’m completely jealous of the Argentinean painter Diego Gravinese and other hyperrealistic painters like him. Similarly to Jason de Graaf, Bernardi doesn’t really go for people in his work, concentrating on still life, which he brilliantly translates to canvas with the skill and talent you would expect OF YET ANOTHER KILLER ROBOT SENT FROM THE FUTURE! GOOD GOD, THEY’RE EVERYWHERE! Believe it or not, it’s actually an oil painting on canvas, produced by Italian painter Roberto Bernardi, a leading name in the field of photorealistic art. Case in point: the above loaded dishwasher. Fuori o Dentro (Roberto Bernardi)Īnother sign of a great artist is the ability to turn everyday objects into things that make us feel, ponder, and reflect on our lives. ![]() So you should probably try getting into the good graces of our future robo-overlord, by visiting his website. His models are exclusively inanimate objects, and a typical motive in his work seems to be water (or other assorted liquids) and reflective, metallic surfaces … which is actually also the basis for my other theory: de Graaf is a sentient robot sent from the future. Jason de Graaf’s extensive portfolio of unbelievably detailed, realistic paintings is the very definition of “art,” “talent” and possibly some as-of-yet undetermined mutant power (I’m watching you, de Graaf). Not that there ever was any doubt to begin with. I’m not entirely sure what an X-Statix is but, after looking at this totally-not-a-photograph by the Canadian painter de Graaf, I know that I like it, removing all doubt that this is true art. The only thing this painting is missing to complete the illusion, is that one guy who always inevitably tumbles into a pit, and starts screaming for everyone to stop so he won’t get stomped to death. Witz, who in a dim light could easily be confused with the guy who sold you weed in high school (it’s the tattoo sleeves), has put many similar scenes to canvas over the years, but none as realistically intense as Mosh Pit. There’s “art” and there is “Art!” (capital A and exclamation mark mandatory.) Witz’s Mosh Pit, from 2001, is planted firmly in the latter category, headbanging like crazy and throwing up the horns. For more of Alyssa Monk, be sure to visit her (slightly NSFW) official website. Pause is actually just one work in Alyssa Monk’s 2009 series of 21 hyperrealistic paintings depicting people behind water and glass, though it is by far the most representative of her style. Hopefully, she didn’t discover this while peeping on random people in the shower. She first became interested in realistic paintings after noticing that certain “filters” like water, glass, and steam distort visions of the world in a way that makes it easier to capture them on canvas, using oil paints and thick brush strokes. , whose work has been featured in art exhibitions all over the world. ![]()
