IS THAT A DRAWING??????

While I can appreciate the huge amount of dedication and skill involved I just can't see the point of photorealism - especially when it's just a copy of a photograph. Whatever he's created was already there before.
For me, it's not art - a craft, maybe - but not art. There's no creativity here, just (immense) skill.

Why not read some stories instead
NEW! Want a quick read for your coffee break? Why not try this... Flash Erotica: Scrubber Wow. His gallery on FB totally blows my mind. That is unbelievable talent!
I've seen photorealism - but never *that* level of photorealism.
omg, that is jaw dropping! fuck *crumples my scribbles up and deposits them in wastebasket* lol - no, seriously, that's just amazing and beautiful
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
It's incredible, jaw dropping and, just, wow.
He must be a very patient man to take the time to do photo realistic art. Beautiful art though!
art is any medium which compels an emotive response, whether that response is good or bad, as long as it moves your senses, art can be found everywhere and anywhere, only you can label it as art because everyone perceives things differently. I draw ( and I like to think i'm pretty good ) but I dont consider myself an artist, however I love art, but what I consider art you mightn't.

I, personally, think we are all entitled to our opinions on what 'art' is and whether we like it or not. Art is subjective, personal and open to interpretation.
You can think something is good - and not think it's art... you can also dislike something - but still think it's art. To switch this onto music...I have a pretty strong disliking of rap...but I can still appreciate the talent and artistic/musical input within.
I think the majority of us have been in an art gallery at some point in our lives and gone 'wtf, that is NOT art'. Recently I went to the beach with a friend who works as an artist....she had painted a tyre gold and rolled it in the sea. She then proceeded to take numerous photos of this. I asked her what the thoughts, ideas and concepts were and she said 'oh, I don't know. I don't have any. I was hoping the viewer might be able to come up with something when they look at it'. Is that art? Well, not to me. But you should have seen people coming up with deep thoughts, whilst raving about the wonder that is a gold tyre in some dirty water, when it came to the exhibition.
Art is SUBJECTIVE. What even IS the definition of art? It goes a lot further than simply a dictionary definition...and the beauty is that we can all have our own, different, varying and personal definitions of what art is, what's good and whether or not we like it.
sometimes art is simply taking what exists and adding yourself to it - in Kevin's case, while they are photorealistic, i have to wonder how much of himself he added - a simply shift of the eyes, a hint of an upturned lip, more defined crease to create a sense of weariness - those would be decisions he made to create or change the emotion of the piece. personally, i find them moving, they have become, in a sense, fictional characters thru the medium, taking on a life of their own.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
