What you see are not photographs. What you see are the oil paintings of the Israeli painter Yigal Ozeri, which are so realistic that they seem quite scary. The quiet beauty, incredible realism and narrative power of his paintings are the result of thousands of tiny, precise brushstrokes.
Yigal Ozeri is an Israeli painter who lives and creates in New York. At his incredibly realistic oil works, viewers first immediately think that they are staring at a photograph. But if you were at Yigal Ozeri's exhibition live, you would be able to see up close that the paint was really applied with a brush to the canvas.
In addition to incredible realism, Ozeri's works boast dimensions that are usually large and leaky cinematic impression. When the phrase "oil on canvas" comes to mind, images of Velazquez or Rembrandt appear in our heads, while Ozeri's paintings seem to us as if they are clips from movies precisely caught in the lens. Except this isn't about movies. And that no lens is included. Just a brush, oil paints and incredible talent.
