"Picture and seeing magazine" Drawing hyper-real oil painting, Ozeri's first solo exhibition in Japan

• シェア

The solo exhibition "Erasing Photography" by artist Igar Ozeri who creates a unique worldview with hyper-realistic oil painting is being held at Daikanyama Hillside Terrace Hillside Forum till February 4 (Saturday).

Born in Israel in 1958, Mr. Igar Ozeri who is currently based in New York. It is known for the transcendental technique which draws the flow of "photorealism" that captures the momentary appearance of a woman like a picture. As far as Ozeri's work is concerned, it does not look like an oil painting at first sight, such as the expression of a woman's face and flow of each hair, clothing exchanges, fine-grained skin shining with natural light. It is strongly influenced by the frontier of Raphael and creates Ozeri's unique view of the world that fused allegorical situations and imagination with contemporary reality.
