As Real as it Gets | WestPark Workshop Gallery
January 15 - February 27, 2016
A group of local artists have been selected to exhibit works of Photo-Realistic paintings and drawings, producing works so detailed that they may seem to be photographs, rather than hand-rendered works of painting and drawing.
Photo Realism is an incredibly demanding form of artistic expression, difficult to master but resulting in incredible and engaging works of art. Chuck Close, Gottfried Helnwein, and Marcello Barenghi all worked in this style, rendering hyper-realistic people, places and objects, often tricking the viewer with their attention to detail.
Blue Line Arts will be featuring emerging artists who have endeavored to master this difficult style for the forthcoming exhibit "As Real as it Gets."
Artists: Don Hall, Lin Fei Fei, John Nichols, Marco Ippaso, Alexandra Bloch, Nadia Vanilla, Marianne Harris, Sheri Hoeger, Barbara Killeen, Eric Jabloner, Zach Timberlake, Janet Crittenden
