From private collection. An exceptional painting by artist Tjalf Sparnaay (1954). Sparnaay has achieved international recognition for his hyper-realistic paintings. His works of art are notable for their stunning level of detail and almost photographic accuracy.
If the work is restored (see condition), the Artist would like to include the work in the retrospective exhibition in Museum Jan which will start early next year. A restorer can be introduced to the buyer by Mr Sparnaay.
Sparnaay is best known for his paintings of everyday objects and food, such as hamburgers, fries and fried eggs. His approach to hyperrealism goes beyond simply capturing the appearance of objects; he manages to add a sense of drama and depth to his compositions. As a result, his paintings often transcend the simple representation of everyday objects and become almost surreal studies in light, shadow and reflection.
Sparnaay's technical skills and his ability to elevate an ordinary scene into a work of art that challenges and intrigues have earned him worldwide admiration. His work raises questions about the nature of art and reality and blurs the boundaries between painting and photography. Although his style is reminiscent of the classic Dutch still lifes of the seventeenth century, Sparnaay adds a contemporary twist by enlarging and isolating everyday consumer goods .
The work is also depicted on the artist's website. (With an incorrect year, but the photo on the website also clearly shows that it was taken in 2004). See the last photo.
