“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.

I have to tell you that technical skill and precision are way at the bottom of my own interest in art, but I’m glad you like my blog anyway.

If you liked that look at an earlier post of art by Chiara Albertoni
Thanks for your kind words.
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!

The painting itself? Yes…you should youtube search…there is a video
Thank you for the word/misuse…i just love em
I am on tenterhooks (http://public.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/tender.html) for your next posting…
Wonderful!
Loved the wit in the Escher one particularly! Did you see what the guy (presumably the artist himself) has on his work table?
wow – gorgeous artwork!!
[…] thanks to ArtStormer for introducing me to Jason de Graaf‘s work. (If you haven’t visited ArtStormer before, […]
I’m sure your work is fabulous! I’d like to see it.
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!
exactly..nothing to it.
And I suppose it’s nothing so simple as using really shiny paint. 😀
o.k. This guy has some talent. Thanks for sharing.
I know…amazing skill and talent
Wow. At the risk of sounding naive — I have no idea how someone can even do something like this. Really stunning.
of course not! Please do! Glad you enjoyed it.
This is amazing! Surreal and yet real! Thanks very much for this. Would you mind if I reblogged it?
