“Clarity” Paintings by Jason de Graaf

I’m a fan of technical skill and precision (I’m sure you’ve noticed).  Photorealism, or “hyperrealism”  are  of the “floor routine” of painting, inclusive of the splits, aerial cartwheels,  and  a series of round-off back handsprings.  Very showy.

As with photography, the work relies largely on the composition.  Artist Jason de Graaf’s completely focused paintings certainly make my shutter stop.

  2. Wow! I also had no idea, well, I’m actually speechless! I thought I was reading the post wrong, I had to look at the works over and over and look at his website and finally ask my hubby to look and tell me if I was reading all of this right! To able to think about painting something with such clarity, you’d have to see something with such clarity first. I’m not sure I see quite that clearly 🙂
    Thanks for this, and I am loving your whole site!

  3. I’m a realist portrait painter and pretty good at capturing the spirit of someone, but after seeing Jason de Graaf’s paintings – I think I’ve risen to the level of stick figures!
    Bravissimo!
