Weekend Features: Photo-realistic paintings

It’s An Art World

No, you’re eyes are not deceiving you, these ARE paintings! Photo-realistic paintings with such incredible detail and precision. I do find the subject matter of many of these pieces strangely interesting (ie- dirty dishes, wine glasses, fruit, etc), however I realize that the artists are in a way trying to make sense of everyday life, and magnifying just how important are the details in the little things…
