he's really talented
but...
why not just take a photo
and save yourself a whole bunch of time?i never understand that about photorealism. especially still life photorealism

His work is dull.
I much prefer great painters like Gerhard Richter or Chuck Close who have used photorealism for good reason and then moved on.

I think it is more about the process, than the final product.

(Apr 13 06, 06:00)even more reason to take a photo bc the detail in the brush strokes are the most interesting part of a painting

completely egotistical.
"Hey everybody, I'm a human camera! Look what I can do"
But still fucking amazing though.
He would have ben really popular in like, say, 1500 or so.We shall call him Nikoni. or Canone, or whatever...

it's about a master craft that everyone is sick of looking at. the guy's better than the masters. he would've been an art god in past times.
go look for the art in galaga

i don't know man,
you had people back then figuring out how to render perspective and real-life on a canvas, and then mastering what THEY FIGURED OUT in the first place - this guy is a master of what was mastered 500 years ago.
Now, if he was figuring out something that has never been done before, and then mastering that, and then 500 years from now people were still doing what he figured out, then yeah, he would be an art god. Now, he's just a copycat god.

it's all relative. if you sent the guy back in a time machine he would win. sure, he's standing on the shoulders of giant perverts. but hey, you are likely right, as they didn't have the aide of growing up with secondary renderings embedded in their minds. he also has better brushes.

as an icredibly unwise man from my hometown once said, 'make it new, new, new.'

"it's all relative. if you sent the guy back in a time machine he would win."
that's tough to say. Don't get me wrong, the guy is flat out fucking amazing, but I just watched this documentary last night about Angels & Demons, and they showed Vatican City's art of, specifically Michelangelo and Bernini, and I gotta tell you - it's mindblowingly beautiful, and super-real, and FULL of symbolism that actually says something. So, not only was the art "new", but the ideas were new as well.
All I see in Ventrone's work is fruit, vegetables, and burlap, with an occasional piece of marble thrown in.

anyway, the burlap is so good that I want to fuck it

oh shit

fuck, I can't even remember painters' name so I can effectively argue. I have to sink to mere trickery mixed with my natural charms
