Hi Sarah-Jane, These are arresting. Hyper-realistic. Not surreal, exactly. A liberated Edward Hopper vision. What I like best is that there is so much else besides the central image that affects how I ultimately see it. The eyes, when he shows them, speak volumes. My favorite: Driver.
The article is excellent, too. He describes his work well. I loved that he used the word “saturated” to describe his depictions of the quotidian. What we call “quotidian “ is teeming with insight if we can capture it in just the right light. He does.
