Jeremy was born in 1975 at Santa Monica, California and is 47 years old. There’s not much about him, but from his website, he uses oil paint for all of his work, and it looks very realistic. Many viewers are drawn to his art thinking that it looks just like a photograph. However, Lipking’s vision is the opposite of what a camera does. A photograph tends to flatten an image, reducing all relationships of color and shade to a stiff mechanical pattern. Lipking’s skill lies in his ability to probe in and around his subject. With a highly sensitive eye, he sees nuances of value and hue that the camera and most people can never see. More incredibly, he is able to translate his highly nuanced vision into a painted image. Seeing one of his paintings involves entering into the pictorial world he has created. Like all great realists, he has the ability to generate powerful fictions. Here are 2 of my favorite paintings of his
