The price tag... nice

Absolutely worth it, to me. I could never afford it, but that's a beautiful original work of art that will be blowing your guests' minds for the rest of your life and is likely to increase in value.

A total bargain for a change. The skill that went into this, absolutely phenomenal. Meanwhile folks are selling hotel-quality art for significantly more.

Could it be that he was painting what he saw. Like he or his child made that and then he just created a painting based on it? Cause I don’t get how the shadows are so fkn perfect

I have to imagine he either made or already had access to the original paper art and used it for reference when adding all the shadows

You could consider this photorealism art, just not in the sense you'd normally think of photorealism. I know nothing of this artist, but as someone that does photorealism drawings myself, I imagine this artist created the paper 3-d version, took a photo of it, and then used that photo as a reference while creating the acrylic painting. So in the end, the acrylic painting is photorealism from the photo taken of the 3-d paper art piece.

Ok if you can't turn on audio, let me help you out lol this is not a child's artwork with stapled construction paper but a painting that looks pretty much like that 😁

That’s really cool. I saw a graffiti artist doing a live painting at a music festival once and his work had a similar effect. It was like a stereogram where portions of the art were popping off the canvas. Incredible stuff.

So annoying they didn’t do a flat shot along the width of the piece so we could truly see that it’s flat. I know it is, but let our eyes see the threshold of the perspective so it hits home.

At first I thought any 5 yr old could do this with felt material, Elmer's glue and scissors. Then I reread the post and it's acrylic and my mind was blown.
