Indoor Street Art by Paul Baines

We all love photo realism, it's fun, but the subject matter can be a little dull at times,. In just the same way the very first movie directors flogged the obvious for all it was worth, be it steam trains crashing towards the audience at the turn of the last century, or with the arrival this one a surplus dodgy 3D animated movies, many hyperreal painters simply choose what seems most difficult to replicate rather than deal with any kind of worthwhile subject. I've seen a lot of liquids, cutlery, family portraits, flowers, cars, household objects you name it, but little in the way of 'narrative' or context.

The tricky thing is to create a painting that looks photographic yet supplies the viewer with more than a mere technical audacity. That's where one of the all-time original photorealistic painters comes into the fore, Denis Peterson. My favourite hyperrealist painter, taught from the age of 4 by his master fresco painter and friend of Claude Monet with a stack of high roller collectors around the world and a permanent home in many of NYC's major galleries. This guy can paint, sure, but rather than the usual trite family photographic diatribe this guy pulls out the stops and shows us the grittier side of urban life.

2011 Family Picture

Posted: 30 Mar 2011 08:29 PM PDT

This is this year's (2011) edition of Daniel's Family Picture sketch. As you can see below, he created a house with the family members in it.

On the body of the house (square part) is me and my wife. On the roof area, the kids have their on places.

The left side of the roof has Daryl on it with a car. This is so because Daryl really likes cars and he has a lot of drawings about cars as well. I will be posting his car drawings soon but don't expect it to be different from the one I posted on January 2nd. The car drawings look pretty much the same, I don't know how he does it but they really do.

In the middle part of the roof is Daniel. He's into video games, he thinks about it everyday and dreams about it, and talks a lot about it, too.

The right side has Daphne on it. She pretty much plays with any toy she can pick up. She even cleans up after her brothers who just leave their toys anywhere around the house. I'll probably just teach her to hide them somewhere the boys won't be able to find them.
