Unconventional Realism

Any person, whether he, a famous artist or a self-taught person, is free to work in a wide variety of styles and techniques. Detailed photorealistic landscapes of the English artist Darren Reed are unique.

The main choice of the artist is the urban and industrial landscapes, in which a gloomy, cloudy sky hangs over buildings and boats. Some experts in the field of art refer to Reed's work on photorealism. The artist himself initially pencil sketches on canvas, then uses the most subtle brush for drawing the finest details.

Darren Reed first picked up the brush in 2011, after he received a number of disappointing diagnoses, while not having any artistic education. Due to illnesses, social life slowly faded and to finally lose the thread with reality, it was necessary to have a hobby. So the artist first bought brushes and canvases. Since 2011, the great story of a small artist from England begins.
Why is it realism, and very simply, the artist himself believes that to understand this picture, there is no need for any art education. All is clear - this is just an instant in paints and on canvas.
