German hyper-realism - Philipp Weber - oil on canvas

for those of you who've been a) following and/or b) sharing my love of classical and modern photorealism, here's yet another new-found (for me) artist, a German photo-realist by the name of Philipp Weber.

Philipp Weber brings his models to life, releasing them from the artificiality and rigidity of the master image, going under their skin, exposing irregularities in apparent perfection and revealing aspirations and great dreams. [source WEBER]
