Contemporary Realism

Contemporary Realism is a subtle combination of straightforward, traditional, representational painting with Modernist concepts. It differs from "Classical Realism" which is romantic in nature and does not reference concepts of Modern Art, and "Photorealism" which is often ironic and conceptual in nature.

Please submit only sites that have a straightforward, traditional approach to painting, which references Modernist concepts; Contemporary Realism is not romantic, ironic or sentimental.
