NJ Cox: Photorealistic Minimalism0
Posted by - In Art
"The Kuni Inversion"
Painting in a style he has dubbed Photorealistic Minimalism, NJ Cox captures in lovely detail lone subjects who have seemingly removed themeselves from their surroundings and simply enjoys the space they are in. A simple picture of a guy reading, or a girl walking by, a man sleeping, or dancing–with nothing around to distract them. As the viewer, we too become engulfed in the simplicity of the paintings, yet our eyes dance over the finely painted details: a wayward strand of hair, a wrinkle in cloth, or a ripple in muscle. These oil on canvas paintings are so realistic, so simplistic, that just by gazing upon them, you’re somehow removed and oblivious to your own surroundings. Beautiful works of art.
"A Perfect Day"
Says the artist of his works:
My paintings provide the viewer with a glimpse beyond the clutter of everyday life, conjuring up notions of escape and peace, offering sanctuary from the frenetic world outside. The figures are alone but not lonely, searching but not anxious, anticipating yet calm. They have an inner peace and strength and are at one with theirsurroundings. The paintings reflect solitude, tranquility and confidence, giving every day scenes an unexpected and surreal feeling while keeping them solidly within the real world. –NJ Cox, Artist
