This work and i say this as someone who's doing art, not that it makes my opinion more valid, is cancerous. I know this artist and while his technical skills are sufficient enough, these realism mongers lack the grace and beauty that anyone from the renaissance had or the strength and mastery that neoclassicism had. We've come full circle with post modernism in that people are going back to this realistic shmuck and it's a joke. The ideas behind this kind of art can't even resonate anymore with a modern audience aside from oh wow xd beautiful! Striving for photorealistic representations which we see today make the art a bastardization of what is possible.
