Technically brilliant. Spooky disturbing. Roberto Ferri’s paintings are lovely to look at with inbuilt jolts as your eye travels around the canvas. This woman’s body becomes a snake. That man has horns. This Italian painter has been commissioned by the Vatican to paint the current pope twice. His themes are often mythic or catholic. His level of sk...
With a lot of rock star swagger Casey Baugh makes what he does look easy. His charcoal drawings have a contemporary feel to them and look like the sort of thing Michelangelo or Leonardowould be doing if they were working today. His oil paintings have that indefinable quality of life. You begin to look at them like any other painting until you lock ...
If Kevin Costner’s character in, “Dances with wolves,” had been a painter, this is what his paintings would have looked like. With a beautiful mixture of softness and story Jeremy Lipkin’s paintings make me feel calm just by looking at them. His paintings of his wife are particularly tender.

Francis O’Toole is intense, Irish and humble. He was the first realist painter I ever encountered. When I saw his work I had a strong physical reaction. It was a mix of awe and despair. Despair because prior to seeing this kind of painting the bar was low enough to feel attainable. Seeing his work made me realise what was possible as a painter. I’m...

There is so much mystique surrounding Odd Nerdrum that it’s hard to tell if he is really the caricature of the crazy artist the media projects or if he has encouraged this view of himself to protect his intimacy. Either way his paintings are powerful. This Norwegian painter stands apart among realist painters in that his paintings look so like Remb...
Stephen Bauman exemplifies the best of modern realist panting. He manages to wrap a classical style around a contemporary flavour. You can tell he is a contemporary painter yet his paintings have an older quality. I particularly like the way he gets the people in his paintings to glow. You can see more of his work here. http://www.stephenbaumanart....
Realist painting was a kind of calling for Conor Walton because when this Irish painter was going through Art school, figure drawing and realist painting were completely out of fashion. He had to find his own way in the end and we are the richer for it. I had a lovely chat with Conor on my podcast which you can listen to here. You can see more of h...
Adam Miller is a young American painter who discovered classical painting techniques almost by accident. Once he got started his talent became evident quickly going into formal academic training at age 16. He paints thematic sequences that combine modern culture and myth. You can see more of his work here. http://www.adammillerart.com/
American artist Alyssa Monk’s approach is intimate and intense. Her paintings are all we hope for in an image, the ability to get very close to a private moment and they there as long as we need to. Here latest paintings manage to communicate an interior life with technical clarity of a master realist painter. I had a lovely chat with Alyssa on my ...
