@@sharongillesp don't be jealous... Would love to see your portraits and such... If you can't see art at his work is cause your idea of art is twisted...
This is art at the highest level, he says it with his paint, needs no further explanation, no flashy, shocking ideas, painting what you see and want to show. Many can learn something from it, especially the art of painting.
There is nothing overkill about creating something that leaves people in awe. The downside to this particular art is there is no signature style distinguishing his work. The second you see it is the second you know the artist. A Da Vinci is unmistakable. A Michelangelo is unmistakable. Upon first glance, there is no mistaking a Monet, a Goya, a Rembrandt, or a Van Gogh. The only thing that distinguishes his work is knowing that you're not looking at a photograph. Once you have that knowledge, then the incredible attention to detail leads you to knowing that you're looking at a Leng Jun masterpiece.
Yes! But it isn’t art. The technical illustrator is a “horse-and-buggy” “recording” of a human face, instead of a Maserati photographer. What’s the difference? SLOW. FAST. The artists Georgia O’Keefe, Vincent Van Gogh, Romare Bearden, Michelangelo or Paul Gauguin are more than their signature styles, it’s that they evoke our imagination and interest years, decades and centuries later. This might as well hang in a dermatologist’s office as a poster advertising skin care. That’s how NOT fascinating THIS hyper-realistic piece is. HOWEVER, hyper-realism can be art depending on IF the COMPOSITION is made to evoke our imagination and interest.
Some of Salvador Dali's paintings are very realistic. But you know it is a painting and not a photograph. True, Leng's skill is quite exceptional. But it looks like a photograph.
A painter who could paint the smallest details perfectly is also a patient, persistent and motivated artist. I'm a painter myself and fulfilling self contentment in my work is the key to create a great outcome. The paintings featured for sure took many hours, even days or weeks.
This is simply incredible and so great that I am speechless because of its incredible uniqueness in the representation of all the details in the fabric. Just look at the clothes. How is it possible to paint like that?! This is simply unique!❤
I'm even more impressed by the painting of the clothing and other objects. The knit shirt, the blue jeans, the teapot, the apple, etc are all so realistic looking.
3:57 There's no coincidence this painting is called 'Mona Lisa - About Smile Design'. Da Vinci used a specific painting technique on his Mona Lisa, making his brush strokes invisible. He was aiming for a naturalistic look that was new for his time. Leng Jun has simply taken this approach to a new level. And what a level! Wow!
There is just a touch of ‘this is a painting.’ Just enough. Beautiful. The green sweater made me thing of the fancy dress in old master paintings. Amazing!
Those who can do those who can’t wishes and criticize. That’s the difference between someone who is good and someone who is great. Who has the patience,will, and talent or ability to achieve the impossible marks a true master of his craft a chosen few can or ever hope to reach 👏👏👍
To the people who kept saying "just take a picture" that's not the point! Some people actually enjoys the process. The process is an art form all in itself. It's like saying to a cook that "it's easier to just buy a take out" some people happen to enjoy cooking no matter how inconvenient it all is, how many steps it took, or how much dishes we have to do after. It can be therapeutic to some people. Personally realisms just isn't one I enjoy but even I can appreciate the artists and the hard work got into each paintings.
His art not only makes us question reality in "machine vs man made", but also makes us recall that everything that we see on the picture has a long story of human time, from being born, to grow, to take care of our body, to the time invested many many years ago when embroidery, fabric, coloring, the collecting and preparing of cotton was all a human only craft, the act of brushing the hair and everything else that is behind that seeminly "lifeless" photography. This also makes me realize the main difference in photography and painting, and the appel of hyper realism: photography will never make me spend hours looking at it's details. With photography, if we pay much attention, we might think only into about the subject: if it's someone crying, we will feel their paint, if it's a great composition, we might think about them choosing the location, but with painting, above all that, we will think about the mastery, the precision, the choices the artist made to achieve that final desicion. Amazing, truly a master!
This is beyond amazing skill level and dedication, But I myself prefer paintings that look like paintings i love seeing brush work and shapes it has more life and energy and is more appealing to my eye.
It a privilege to view your art. A living artist showing the brilliance of his love for his subject. Missing no detail. A privilege to view. Thank you master Leng Jun🙏🏼
In the words of Oliver, "Please sir, may I have some more." I can only respond in adjectives-awesome, painfully humbling, dumb-struck, amazing. I can not stop staring in disbelief . So yes. more please...
Why is it that the art world says its only art when its the style that they accept. Its almost comical sometimes. I guess the art world gets VERY INSECURE when its something everyone enjoys and can understand. Its like if that happens in art, theres no need for their snobbery!! This man does beautiful work and is just as talented as your favorite artist!
Mediocrities response to genius is envy. Ask me i know. From your earliest memories, pain will always be at the forefront. The greater the gift.. the greater the cost. It's just the way it is. But there's no words capable of conveying accurately the ecstasy you feel the moment you infuse the soul into your subject. It's literally out of this world. Having said that..I believe music is the greatest art. Yes, maybe I'm nuts, who cares. It's all about love anyway..❤
This is refinement. Art can be very refined. Accomplished. I think people with skill and accomplishment are the shoulders of giants that others come to stand on. Without this others wouldn’t know where they stood moving forward regarding a particular study.👨🎓♾️💡
Just imagine Leonardo DaVinci's reaction to Leng Jun's Mona Lisa painting or that last one! One thing is certain, Leonardo will know that it is the work of a master and will be in awe.
As Paul Gauguin once said: „You are expecting an artist to spend months or years in a dark atelier trying to imitate what u see, and now one can do it with just one click of a camera“ Maybe not word by word, but very close to this. Soon, there’ll be robots doing this thing better than anyone
I'm extremely dumbfounded at the paintings by Leng Jun. The minute details are simply amazing, especially the lady wearing the green blouse at 10:48. Every strands of her hair, her blouse borders are painted by him. Does anyone know , what is the average time Leng Jun have to spend, to produce such a portrait ? 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
Whether it’s hyper-realism or impressionism, what’s important is the soul and the warmth in each painting… abstract painting is the laziest version of them all…. Almost like a scam.
I can take 2 months doing a realistic painting but I can't and do not want to make hyperrealism. Yet I admire his skill. There has to be something about myself that I leave on the canvas. I discover something, an example might be how I colour the eyes. They are not realism but they express something unique. Each to his own. At times I use more wild colours. I enjoy that.
What crazy is it's not "hyper" realistic with respects to painting what's EXACTLY there. You can see small spots of detail that implies brush stroke, which itself is typical of oil painting. So really, it's as realistic as oil painting can get.
Hyper-realism is simply an artist's attempt at nailing down an image the best he or she possibly can. It should be applauded because it is very, very difficult to be that precise. No matter what anyone says, a painting is a painting and it is very subjective, because everyone has their own idea on perfection. As Dali said, "If you're going for perfection, forget it. You will never achieve it." Has Leng Jun proved him wrong, absolutely not, because nothing painted by hand will ever be perfect.
The genre of hyperrealism emerged not so long ago, and at first attracted a lot of attention due to its novelty. But today interest in it has dried up. Who of the majority of enthusiastic commentators here can name at least one artist in this genre or give an example of a couple of paintings that surprised the art world and took a place in the Louvre, Prado, Hermitage?
MASTERPIECE✨️👌♥️. As a painter, it is very hard to bring any portrait to life. Does a mastetpiece require a certain narrative of perceptions ❓️❓️❓️ ToomCapeTown❤
While I can certainly respect the dedication, there is no life at all in that, nothing exciting or interesting, just a faithful photographic painting. What is the vision? Is there one? Is there a point to the painting? A message? What is the painting trying to convey other than technical proficiency?
Totally agree. When you look at a painting by artist like Van Gogh’s, you can feel his pulse and his emotions while reacting to what he was painting. When you look at this artist’s painting, you get the feeling that you are walking through the valley of death.
@@boodeehaha1751 I do consider photography to be art because it not only has the technical parts (aperture, shutter speed, lenses, etc), but also artistic ones such as angles, lighting, composition. I don't think there's anything wrong in using photography in painting, the problem is to simply try to copy it entirely.
@@fabrizio483 IMHO, what you have described as photography as art applied to those portraits LJ has done. First, he didn't copy his painting from a photograph. 2nd, he interpreted the existing lighting and where he stood (contrast, light, angles, aperture etc) and put that into painting. I do agree though the painting is a bit flat, probably because of existing light and his style of hyperrealism takes into account all the details rather than play with shadows
Of course these are masterpieces but the question is if they sort of lost something of the expression/soul that is why we also love to see the imperfection in many works of art. However that is not fair and I see the value of this video as well as his works.
Estas pinturas constituyen una obra de arte tan ,tan real magnifucamente realizadas hasta en los minimos detalles a tal extremo,con respeto que cuadran en ser chocantes gracias por la publicacion amo el arte pero con yodo respeto es mi parecer LR.
I don't know. I don't really prefer hyper realism. It feels odd. Yes he's extremely dedicated and his skills are beyond magnificent. I'm speechless. But I still don't prefer this. I know no one will agree and please don't argue with my comment. It's just a feeling inside. I'm not negative about any of this video. I'm mind blown. I'm speechless. But I don't think art should be hyper realistic. I think it always should be creative and it'll have flaws and mistakes and it'll have so many meanings. That's how I feel about creative works.
Very nice work. It carrys on the long standing tradition of Chuck Close and others in the 1980s (over 40 years ago) and earlier. I think the rapid advance and pervasive growth of media in the 20th Century increased the knowledge of what other artists around the world are doing.. In 2024 there about 10 times the global population - yes, the population was under 1 billion for most of history. The forms of art that could continue producing physical objects have benefitted the most, from the spread of Capitalism and the marketing forces of "curators". Visual artists competing by hand and eye work, with the mechanism and technology of cameras and optics is a long tradition. Read up on the history of Camera Lucida and Camera Obscura - dating back to days of ancient Greece and Rome, as well as Albrecht Durer and Johannes Vermeer. David Hockney has an excellent book on the subject. Can you believe it? People born before 1990 actually produced our society! Who'd a thunk it?
It's obvious it isn't a photograph. As is all his art. And although it's impressive, these days it's very common to see these "Hyper-Realistic" art pieces everywhere.
@renelevaillant6601 you guys MUST be very insecure, to have that attitude. Like the art world, you must put it down to lift your knowledge up. Lol, like only you know art. It's comical and the art world needs psychiatric help to get over theirselves.
