Ritums Ivanovs

2 03 2015

Ritums Ivanovs is a Latvian painter who uses precise and hyperrealist depictions of reality and bright polychromatism typical of Op Art. Working in his unique linear technique, he paints portraits and nudes on exceptionally  large-scale canvasses (up to 145 x 250 cm). Mr. Ivanovs most often uses a photo as a basis, yet sketches and paints his works completely freehand. The main subjects of Ritums Ivanovs’ works involve human emotional moods, in both dramatic and subtle styles. His images contain real people from his life, photographic images from printed material – from art history books or from show business advertisements (Andy Worhol,Damien Hirst), and even from erotic magazines.

Not only has Richard Avedon photographed many famous people. But he has also taken some very odd pictures. All wonderful. A lot of fun and joy in his pics.
