Philip Pearlstein

Bill. 4-7-16.

Philip Pearlstein is a American artist who is universally acknowledged as the most representative painter of new realism. He is one of those few new-realism artist who rarely uses photography, slide shows or any other digital image for their creation.

Pearlstein's work commonly utilizes the natural light indoor and objectively describes the object as well depicts the texture in a highly detailed way, which is usually composed of models in detailed and complex interiors, dramatic value and sort of abstract constructing.

 Oil on canvas, created in 2008.

His sense of space is the thing that impresses me from his pieces: what I can see form these pictures are not only his unique understanding of human figure but also his sense of space, which is appropriately blended together.
