Exhibition Tjalf Sparnaay at Museum de Fundatie Zwolle NL.
Since 1987, he has been working on his imposing oeuvre, constantly seeking new images that have never been painted before. What he calls Megarealism is part of the contemporary global art movement of Hyperrealism, and Sparnaay is now considered one of the most important painters working in that style.
Fried eggs, French fries, sandwiches and ketchup bottles, Barbie dolls, marbles and autumn leaves. Artist Tjalf Sparnaay visualizes these trivial subjects and inflates them to enormous formats, an assault on the senses. His paintings hit the retina like bolts of lightning in a clear blue sky. No other painter confronts us quite so clearly with ordinary objects that we hold dear.
Tjalf Sparnaay not only documents reality but also intensifies this by blowing up everyday objects to mega-proportions. This gives him the opportunity to explore every detail very closely and to dissect it layer by layer in order to arrive at the core of the theme. ‘My paintings,’ remarks Sparnaay, ‘are intended to enable the viewer to experience reality once again, to rediscover the essence of the object that has become so common. I wish to reduce it to the DNA of the universal structure in all its beauty. I call it ‘the beauty of the everyday’. The way in which Sparnaay approaches his work refers directly to the seventeenth century. He resembles Vermeer in his lucid use of colour and eye for detail and refinement, while the lighting in his paintings recalls the play of light and shadow in the work of Rembrandt. Sparnaay elaborates on the rich seventeenth-century Dutch tradition of the still life, but does so on an individual and modern manner. He is constantly seeking new images that have never been painted. And he finds them in his own environment: ‘By using trivial and everyday objects, I enable reality to flow from my brush once more. My intention is to give these objects a soul and a renewed presence.’
Sparnaay’s work is spread out over collections worldwide and is regularly exhibited in cities such as New York and London.
Ms. Debbie. A great community worker in the Tenderloin, SF. This quilt was a retirement gift from Leroy and me. About 3,500 pieces of multi colored fabrics. Unfortunately, I bought most of these fabrics until I got smart and started scrounging around SCRAP, SF.

Jacob is an MC from Crawley, he also happens to be a fellow bandmate in my band Flight School Academy and is also one of my best friends.
He wanted some snaps done so on a cold evening we went out and got some sorted, light permitted some of the things we wanted to try though.

This image is produced using three bracketed exposures of the same subject, which are combined and tonemapped using Photomatix Pro software, to produce a single High Dynamic Range image - which reveals far more detail and colour than a single exposure. The image was then tweaked some more in Photoshop CS.

"HYPER" offers a concise yet ambitious look at the development of hyperrealism, demonstrating how the representation of the human figure has transformed over the decades. The exhibition is a collaborative effort with the German Institut für Kulturaustausch, featuring loans from artists, galleries, art foundations, and private collections worldwide.

HYPERREALISM / FIGURATIVE COMPOSITIONS watercolor and gouache on paper 40 x 59 cm 1984 _ _ This work was prepared in January 1984 in the technique of watercolor and gouache painting with significant use of airbrush. Stark monochrome palette of restraint, cold, artificial light is akin to the underground cadres of military newsreels. This piece was a left part of polyptych with "Moika, 12" (detail of the monument to Pushkin in a snowy yard of his last apartment - artnow.ru/en/gallery/3/4414/picture/9/208304.html).
The work has been presented as a course project by the academic discipline "Painting Composition" of the Department of Fine Arts (Moscow State pedagogical university). Professor Andrei Unkovsky (he was absolutely faithful in his work of traditions of Russian impressionist landscape), asked angrily on the exam: "Is this a poster?"

This 5 m big boy is quite stunning to see "in the flesh". Although I knew this sculpture from photographs (at the Venice Biennale) I did not quite anticipate how eerily realistic this sculpture would be even after seeing his "Big Man" at the Hirschhorn Museum in Washington DC some years ago.
It's clear that one might think that this boy is feeling scared and hiding from some kind of danger when seen from the front. But then you turn round and you can discern a faint Mona Lisa like smile on his lips hidden behind his arm.
Suddenly you understand that this boy probably ducked after doing some kind of mischief and that he is the perpetrator instead of the victim. I just imagined him having thrown a small stone, breaking a window and ducking to keep out of sight.
Strong stuff!
And above all Mueck does most of the work himself (with a little help from his wife for the clothing apparently as an enthusiastic museum guard told me) unlike over-hyped artists as Damien Hirst and Jeff Koons.
Some interesting pictures of the sculpture in the making are provided by Gautier Deblonde on his site.

A tribute to my father's photographic work which he called 'Spirits of the Rainforest or Aspects of the HyperReal'; from which 'Aspects of Reality' as a title originated. My father had dedicated his images to respect for mother nature and the need to reduce mankind's adverse impact on rainforests worldwide, and of the Amazon in particular.

My father Demetri passed away on 2nd December 2011, and the images from this album were used via links on Facebook, as a tribute to him having crossed over into the 'spirit world'. Rest in Peace dad.
Dad had for many years used the message "with LOVE and LIGHT" in ending his greetings and emails, so it seems entirely appropriate that all family and friends remember him with those concepts.

Continuing on from his work, my own activities on environmental issues were represented (until the change in family circumstances during 2007) on some of the entries at:
