Bence István Ódor

☀️ In my paintings I contrast a technically elaborate photorealistic style with naive, childlike elements. For my most recent paintings I use screenshots of older computer games that are important to me, which I paint in a documentary style, faithful to the photograph. I then add a layer of matching/mismatching markers to the resulting detail. Although I do sketch, this part is always a surprise.
