Diego Gravinese

by

Gorgeous and uncanny realism from Argentinian painter Diego Gravinese of snapshots that are turned into surreal moments of ecstasy and bizarre narratives.

    i’m not usually a fan of such photorealism, but this guy is taking eric white one step further but with a different voice. single frame canvases, yes. split canvases, no. you don’t need a split scene narrative when you have surrealism, do you? milk face, juicy rock surfaces and sexual tension without being slutty. a+

    These are beautiful, but the I guess I find the cockatoo one kind of disappointing. I mean, I love the bird, and I understand it is photorealism so he is obviously paints straight from photos, but it just seems strange to me to take a photo from a historic collection, that someone else took 50 years ago, and just paint a copy of their work. It is a nice painting and obviously his skill can’t be questioned, but to me it would be like someone making a photorealistic painting of A Mother of Seven Children by Dorthea Lange. Might be a lovely painting, but something just seems weird about it to me.

    Though to his credit, adding color to that wasn’t in the original photo at least does something.
