Philipp Weber, 1974 | Hyperrealist painter

German painter🎨 Philipp Weber tells the stories that move him, using a hyperrealist style. Realism, pop, composition and an attempt to find an inner truth determine the artist’s approach, which places women at the heart of his cyclical works.

Like Mel Ramos, Philipp Weber depicts the artificiality and the clichés of the fashion and advertising world. His young women pose as if for a photo shoot for a glossy magazine, providing a blank canvas for men’s dreams, thus picking up on a traditional artistic theme.

But Philipp Weber shows more than that: he brings his models to life, releasing them from the artificiality and rigidity of the master image, going under their skin, exposing irregularities in apparent perfection and revealing aspirations and great dreams.

Il pittore tedesco Philipp Weber racconta le storie che lo commuovono, usando uno stile iperrealista.

Realismo, pop, composizione ed un tentativo di trovare una verità interiore determinano l'approccio dell'artista, che pone le donne al centro delle sue opere cicliche.

Come Mel Ramos, Philipp Weber raffigura l'artificialità ed i cliché del mondo della moda e della pubblicità.

Le sue giovani donne posano come per un servizio fotografico per una rivista patinata, fornendo una tela bianca per i sogni degli uomini, riprendendo così un tema artistico tradizionale.
