The Art Of Tjalf Sparnaay

(Via)

Tjalf Sparnaay is a Dutch oil painter who's work falls under the realm of hyperrealism, and he is widely regarded as one of the most important contemporary artists in that movement today. What struck me was his reoccurring food subjects, painted with such attention to detail that they nearly look tangible. Did I also mention that Sparnaay is a self taught artist, honing his craft for over 20 years now?
