Michael Borremans.

This man is probably my favourite artist at the moment if I had to pick. His paintings and drawings are pretty amazing.

Borremans is a Belgian artist. He uses a realistic style to capture a likeness of the subject. However, the paintings/drawings as an overall images seem surreal as he leaves them incomplete or adds a little more to suggest something is not quite right. Whether he is conscious of what this irregularity is or not, his work is extremely pleasing to the eye. Well I think it is anyway.

This is my first post. Thought I would give one of these a go, maybe help me be more organised. And when i'm organised. I'll upload a photo or two. So pretty much there will be posts to follow. Maybe.
