I've been seeing quite a few lifelike pieces of art on the Internet lately, and adding to it is the outstanding Jonathan Wateridge. His incredible oil paintings look like stills taken on film sets, not imagined art pieces. The detail, coloring and all, is simply out of this world.
It's appropriate, then, that this particular collection is entitled 'Another Place.' Jonathan Wateridge depicts "scenes from the production and narrative of a fictional American film that is centered on an unseen catastrophic event," according to Today and Tomorrow.
