Jeremy Lipking Painter

Jeremy Lipking b. 1975

In a remarkably short period of time, Jeremy Lipking has emerged as one of the country's premier realist artists. His talent, which rivals that of the late nineteenth century painterly realists such as John Singer Sargent, Joaquin Sorolla and Anders Zorn, is outstanding for a painter of any age. It is all the more remarkable since he is only thirty years old. Like these great painters of the past, Lipking is a virtuoso artist. His canvases convey the magical aura of convincing imagery emerging out of a field of paint... Link

The first image I descovered by this artist was not credited to the artist (the reclining figure above). At first I thought it was a Waterhouse painting that I was not familiar with. I was very surprised to discover it was the work of a living artist. Lipking's works are incredible and are up there with many of the greatest artists the world has ever known.
