JOHN LEE HOOKER - portrait : : SEBASTIAN KRUGER

John Lee Hooker - part of the Blues legends series by German artist Sebastian Krüger 
160 x 80 cm Acrylic on Canvas 2008

That's right! It's a painting! In acrylic on canvas!!!!


You would need to see the original to really understand the technical skill here but if I point out the later stages of such photorealism often includes use of a razor blade perhaps that might indicate some of the demands set by the genre.
