Intensified realism

Figurative art at the threshold of intensified realism.

 

Intensified Realism: a painting style where perspective is adjusted to the artwork’s viewing height, so that the scene appears realistic and immersive in its physical setting rather than only in photographs — historically related to practices sometimes described as anamorphic or adjusted perspective.

The term was introduced by artist Tapio Vuorinen as a clearer way to describe his own approach. The works based on that are presented on his Saatchi Art Finland profile.

Some adjustments are still being made to this artwork (lust) on Saatchi Art Finland to better showcase the painting in image form. A new image will be published later this year, after which the current version will no longer be available on the print service.
