FC Art is delighted to bring you Daniel Itiose.
Daniel Itiose is a hyper-realist whose work consists of the exploration of the human condition and how it shapes and molds our appearances as individuals with a main focus on portraiture.
The gaze from the subjects tells a story in silence. The distribution of marks and brushstrokes on a flat surface to create a three-dimensional subject with the help of photography while subtracting the fictitiousness that often comes with it. Rather than beautifying the subject, he illustrates them as they really are; hair, skin and pores. This latter is depicted in a very detailed fashion, due to the meticulousness involved in the process. The compilation of these physiological details tell tales.
Hyperrealism is not necessarily a strict representation of photographs nor is it solely literal illustrations of a certain scene, object or subject, instead, the artist uses rather subtle, and often additional and pictorial elements to create an illusion of reality. The paradox within the goal of hyper-realism is to outstrip technology but with the aid of it itself, especially cameras. Hyper-realism is an illustration of how proper reproduction of a photograph can be done on canvas. “It’s a collection of thoughts and emotions frozen in time”.
