Catch up no#1: Art and Representational- Gerhard Ritcher

http://www.gerhard-richter.com/


Gerhard Ritcher has a broad range of work using painting as a medium. I know this is supposed to be a sculpture based blog but many of my influences are painters. Ritcher paints photo realistic paintings based on photographs that have a misty blur to them. I particularly like his clouds he paints, they have a dreamy feel and although representational they are more like abstract paintings. especially this vibe!

He also does amazing photo paintings in his distinct blurry style they almost look like a memory or something, very nostalgic


how good is the lighting?? His website has lots of his paintings, sculptures and so on. Too much to talk about! I especially like his abstract work!
