Fifteen years ago, before the world had Instagram, Israeli artist Yigal Ozeri started painting hyper-realistic paintings. Unexpectedly, although he personally did not set up an Instagram account for this purpose, these realistic works with the theme of beauty and nature have become popular on Instagram in recent years. Interestingly, Yigal first took videos and photos, and then faced the painting, but it was widely circulated in the form of photos. In this regard, he disagreed. He still holds a very classical view on art, believing that art must convey emotion.

Seemingly bringing art to life, New York based Israeli artist Yigal Ozeri presents a series of oil paintings on canvas that can easily be mistaken as photographs. As one of the world's foremost photorealistic painters, Ozeri's detailed brushstrokes and attention to colour brings forth deceptively real features like solar flares and natural backlight. Celebrating women and ther realationship to nautre, his photorealistic paintings capture the etheral beauty of female and nature.

The most significant trend that we spotted at the 2016 edition of the fair was realism, with Israeli artist Yigal Ozeri on the top of our diverse list. Mr. Ozeri is exhibiting a series of new hyper-realistic oil paintings titled Monochrome, which offers varied views of actress and filmmaker Olya Zueva alone in a landscape, at Munich’ s Galerie Andreas Binder. Rendered in shades of gray, the paintings are inspired by Ms. Zueva’s own black-and-white silent films. Admired for his exquisite portraits of young women in idyllic settings, Mr. Ozeri captures an enigmatic vision of the Russian actress, one in which she looks as though she just stepped out of a French film noir classic.

Yigal Ozeri is best known for his large-scale cinematic portraits of young women in vast transcending landscapes. His near photo-realistic oil paintings convey the spirit of his subjects in a grand array of natural settings: from abundant rain forests to dreary deserts. Thousands of tiny brushstrokes animate his lifelike paintings, giving way to a remarkable realism, distinct beauty, and seductive power. Ozeri seizes fleeting moments and gives them life. As a result, the viewer is compelled to gaze into the allegorical domain between reality and fantasy.
