by Winnie Jack Artist

Who is the representative of contemporary American realist painter?

There are many famous realist painters in American. Born in 1975, Jerry Lipking was a famous contemporary American realist painter. His talents were evenly matched with realistic painters in the end of 19th century, such as

John Singh Sargent, Joaquin Solo Leah, Anders Zorn, etc. Jerry Lipking had boundless prospects even he was only more than 30 years old. His paintings expressed the peculiar images revealed from the painting field.

The realism in the 20th century was misunderstood as a kind of art imitation. In fact,Jerry Lipking endowed the realistic painting with a strong creativity. Many viewers were brought in the thinking of painting. At first, his paintings seemed like a photo. In fact the Lipking′s vision was opposite with that of the camera. Lipking was skilled in his exploration of painting objects. His eyes were highly sensitive, which the subtle value and tones could be seen instead of the camera. It was unbelievable that he could paint these subtleties. From his paintings, we could know his created world. Like all great realists, he had a very strong imagination.

Jerry Lipking made his painting by the use of a very free method "dot" to calculate the size and proportion. Then he used clear background color to grasp the hue and value. In this process, his painting looked somewhat abstract, made up of large area color structures. The characteristics of Lipking′s brush and posture was called "open touch". He applied the broad and loose drawing method and placed bare canvas in the middle. The subsequent open place was gradually filled in, creating a respiratory lattice similar to drawing structure. It seemed that this method shared similarities with that of Cezanne. Cezanne stressed on the continuality of touch, but Lipking had a compact description and more precise colors.

Miracle occurred in the final stage. When he continued to draw, he gave every part precise treatment, adjusted the color relations and applied the flexible high light process to perfect every element. Under the sharp and loose interactions, the gradual lighting pictures were more vivid. Unlike the static images, his paintings were with a subtle biological energy.
