Michael Zavros

I really like Zavros. In the film we watched in class of him, where he showed his house, I used to live on that street- i know exactly where that house is. I could walk there right now if I wanted to.

I like how he captures such simple ideas, like the Balenciaga bag in timeless fashion, and the faceless model, and makes them look so elegant and easy to understand. He has such a beautiful hand, too.

I love the way he uses tone to create the illusion of form, especially in the horse drawings he does. He seems to have a real affinity with his pencils and charcoal.

Unlike the other two artists I have looked at, he has a much more realistic style of making art, but it transcends the notion of realism into being something so impressive and beautiful.

I really love his art.
