THE PHOTOREALISM OF IMAN MALEKI:
Those art work are great. Some looks real too. :)
ReplyDeleteMy dear Antares,
ReplyDeleteThe artist himself is so handsome *grins*.
Whilst the art is astoundingly realistic,there is such an air of pensive sadness about each painting.
I wonder why he does not feature eye contact for most of his subjects...There is a repressed kind of melancholy here...
His style reminds me of the era of the great Italian artists like Caravaggio...
Thanks so much dear pal for this post.
hugs
Wow..! that was my first impression... Look at those pictures or may be can be called as 'photos' they are look very much alive than snapped photos.. those are real arts..
ReplyDeleteThe 9th painting took my breath away. The transformation between the faces, the increasing influx of grief, longing dismay between the faces is just too much. What a profound display of artistic expression...!
