Denis Peterson


“One might make painted images that are so highly crafted, detailed, and labor intensive, that so earnestly suggest every pore and thread, that the message is simply,
"I believe, and I care. Look at this. It is important."
Chris Ashley, Look See

 DENIS PETERSON SAID THAT PHOTOREALISM PAINTING HAS ITS ROOTS IN NEW REALISM, A MOVEMENT BEGUN BY PHOTOREALIST PAINTERS (A.K.A. PHOTOREALISTS) RALPH GOINGS, AUDREY FLACK, CHUCK CLOSE AND OTHERS. NEW REALISM (LATER COINED PHOTOREALISM BY LOUIS K. MEISEL) WAS AN OUTGROWTH OF POP ART WHICH SYMBOLIZED A HYPERREAL OR HYPERREALIST APPROACH TO REALITY REGARDING COMMERCIALIZATION, SYMBOLIZATION,AND REPRODUCTION. HYPERREALISM IS A RECOGNIZED SUBSET OF PHOTOREALIST PAINTING AND A DEFINITIVE STYLE.
