Oil painter Gglennray Tutor paints mind-numbing trompe l’oeil landscapes that are so meticulous in detail it’s almost hart to imagine they could be accomplished by the human hand. There are so many things at work here, light, form, dimension and pop culture.
Artist Bruce Wilhelm is responsible for some genuinely trippy stallion-inspired collage style paintings. After the initial shock of the strangeness, you can take in the technical skill required to achieve the imagery.
You begin browsing the photographs of artist James Chronister and think, ‘well these are nice.’ Then you scroll down and read the title and description of the work and realize that you aren’t actually looking at photographs, you are looking at oil paintings. Then you really start to pay close attention because the detail is phenomenal.
Artist Michael Zavros paints fashion-inspired imagery that appears as almost photographic upon first glance. His work is meticulously crafted and the resulting imagery of his labor is genuinely beautiful. Not an easy feat with oil paint.
I am really a fan of the surrealist landscape paintings of Rick Leong. You can see more in his Flickr-folio. There is something almost akin to old Japanese prints happening within some of the imagery. I would love to see his work in person.
Here is the latest and rather amazing stop motion video directed by Allison Schulnik for Grizzly Bear. Her painting has come to life.
Self taught oil painter, illustrator and photographer, Mattijn Franssen has developed a magnificent catalogue of work, most specifically his fanciful photo montage work! He also maintains a Flickr page thats worth a look.
It only takes a few strokes in just the right places for artist Allison Schulnik to make a very strange and rather disquieting impression.
Michael Ciervo has a really strange and interesting body of artwork that seems to stream as if from a subconscious dream.
Amazing paintings from both an imagination and a technical standpoint pouring from the brush of the exceptionally talented artist Glenn Brown.
Eric White paints some very detailed and interesting oil paintings. Technically speaking, he is on a level that is not easy to reach.
Seriously amazing, absolutely amazing paintings from Denver-based Lucong. A true young master. I can’t say enough about the enormity of the talent here. Really stunning and the fact that he lives in Denver is fantastic. Its always great to discover truly inspiring talent right in your own backyard.
Super realistic oil paintings that you just have to see to believe from the unquestionably talented painter Roberto Bernardi.
