Now Francis Bacon is a great painter, but this guy is just another in a long line of hypperrealist painters out there today. I'd rather spend time looking at something else than these paintings. Paintings like this have no real substance.
Go check out Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, DeKooning, Frank Stella, Agnes Martin, Simon Hantai, Joseph Marioni, Brice Marden. These are painters of substance.
So your telling me that u are not impressed by these paintings?? God damn u are a hard man to please
There is some real talent here, def give the man props for creating something as close to a still life as you can get.
The sailors of the United States Navy are among the most disciplined, devoted, and well-trained fighting men the world has ever known. They drink gasoline and piss fire, The spit bullets and shit bombs, and will swim across the ocean with a knife in their teeth just for the chance to carve up those that threaten their homeland.
I am a very hard man to please. Especially when it comes to Art. I am very passionate about my tastes in art, and I don't like looking at a painting that is just a representation of a photograph. There are tons of painters that have done stuff like this in the past and it is nothing new. If I wanted to look at realistic paintings, I'll go look at ones that are 150 years old.

Music is essential for the expression of non material ideals and energies. Music colors our surroundings with emanations from the highest vibrational fields. It allows us to escape all limitations in our thinking and very existence.
Lrn. Hey bro you should check out Rauschenberg if you're looking at finding beauty in everyday things. One of his philosophies was that you can find more interesting things on the way to the museum, thank you can actually find IN the museum.
Wow those paintings are pretty impressive...I wish I was able to draw/paint

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.
you are. it doesn't take a whole lot of "talent" to be able to make a copy of a photograph. I've got a friend that could teach you how to do that in a matter of 2-3 months.
Anyone can be taught how to make paintings, then it's just up to you to put some imagination into it to come up with something that is clearly your own.
