and utterly amazed,
when I looked at these pictures,
they are the work of New York-based Israeli Yigal Ozeri,
they are all of course staged,
cloaked in nature, the some of the women take on an air of romanticism
reminiscent of Pre-Raphaelite paintings, each
strand of hair blowing in the wind and highlights the light and shadow cast
upon the women,
for over 25 years the talented painter has developed his
work, pushing the boundaries of photorealistic painting, yes they are
paintings, not as I had first thought photographs, Ozeri is known for his large-scale oil
paintings of beautiful women set in vast expanses of nature, you can now see why he
is known as the master of photorealism, each artwork begins with a photograph
taken by Ozeri of a regular girl, as he rejects the idea of using models as
examples of perfection, and while Ozeri is known as a master of photorealism,
he isn’t a big fan of the title. “I see myself as a figurative artist”, the painter shares, “In general, I don’t feel comfortable with labelling and with my present grouping as a photorealist artist, even though I see myself
as part of this genre. I feel that my contribution to art history are my works
on paper.”
he as well as his web page has a Facebook page, what a fantastic talent he truly has.
