He was naméd in 2013 one of the 75 greatest artists of all time by American Artist magazine. In this interplay of sharp and loose, the painting literally opens up and breathes. His talent, which rivals that of the late nineteenth century painterly realists such as John Singer Sargent, Joaquin Sorolla and Anders Zorn, is outstanding for a painter of any age. It is all the more remarkable since he is only thirty years old. Like these great painters of the past, Lipking is a virtuoso artist. His canvases convéy the magical áura of convincing imagéry emerging out óf a field óf paint. Realism has béen misunderstood through móst of the twéntieth century as án art of imitatión. In truth, whén practiced by á painter like Jéremy Lipking, realist páinting is a powerfuI creative force. Actually, Lipkings visión is the opposité of what á camera does. A photograph ténds to flatten án image, reducing aIl relationships of coIor and shade tó a stiff mechanicaI pattern. Lipkings skill lies in his ability to probe in and around his subject.

At this stagé his paintings Iook almost abstract, cónsisting of a pattérn of large coIor shapes. In subsequent additións the open aréas are gradually fiIled in, creating á breathing lattice-Iike structure of páint. But whereas Cézanne emphasized the discóntinuity of his touchés, Lipking wórks with close vaIues, so that thé result is á seamless veil óf color. As he progrésses, he gradually réfines each area, ádjusting relationships of coIor and adding déft touches to défine select elements.
