Product description
Tjalf Sparnaay (1954) is a Dutch artist and representative of hyperrealism or, as he himself calls it, megarealism. Sparnaay trained as a sports teacher but taught himself photography and painting in the early 1980s. In those early days, the artist made realistic postcards to sell but soon turned to autonomous painting. After a visit to a pop-art exhibition in New York and its accompanying hyperrealism, Sparnaay chose his final direction. Fried eggs, salads, hamburgers, lobster and trampled Coca Cola cans, depicted in enormous sizes, become his trademark. In doing so, the artist draws inspiration from the works of 17th century masters such as Vermeer's genre scenes, Rembrandt's chiaroscuro and Willem Kalf's still lifes. This beautiful offset lithograph is in excellent condition and is hand-signed by the artist. This work is newly framed with special glass which has no/little reflection. The colorful and realistic print is a great starting point to create your own wall mosaic. Mix vintage artwork with posters, photographs and contemporary art. This way you playfully put together your own inspiration wall in your living room or office. In addition to contemporary artists, our extensive collection includes many historical prints that will have you putting together a cool wall mosaic in no time. Find used frames at a thrift store, decide on a centerpiece and look for a playful composition of colored next to black and white and historical, vintage and modern. Easy to expand or swap out. Check out our other items from Gallery Rotor at Whoppah or call us for advice. Would you like the work framed differently? We at Gallery Rotor in Gorinchem can do all types of framing for you.
