Works by a talented contemporary artist from Texas Cheryl Kelley will be appreciated not only (and not so much) by art lovers as by avid motorists. Retro cars are a topic to which the heart of anyone who cannot imagine his life without the opportunity to periodically turn the steering wheel reacts with trepidation. A series of works by Cheryl Kelly, almost indistinguishable from photographs, are actually surprisingly vivid hyperrealistic drawingsmade with oil paints. It seems that these paintings are a great argument against everyone who believes that a woman and a car are incompatible concepts.
Cheryl Kelly had a passion for cars as a child: while her peers were playing as mothers and daughters, she drove in all the cars of the famous Hot Wheels brand. Having matured, the girl did not abandon the idea of getting behind the wheel of a car and now confidently drives a 1977 Corvette. The name of this talented artist is well known to admirers of hyperrealistic art, which, by the way, is becoming more and more popular from year to year. Recall that on the site Kulturologiya.ru we have already talked about artists whose drawings are indistinguishable from photographs. The works of Ernestina Gallina, Jeremy Geddes, Christian Vlegels and others are bright pages of contemporary art.
Many hyperrealist painters pay attention to portraits or still lifes, while Cheryl Kelly draws exclusively cars. She gives preference to "muscle cars" - American cars of the 1960s and 70s. The name, literally translated as "muscle cars", made Cheryl Kelly think that the car is a unique symbiosis of male and female traits, because in each mechanism the power of tens of horsepower is presented in the form of graceful and sensual (if not feminine) forms.
Working on each new painting, Cheryl Kelly turns to photographs from car dealerships and museums, most of all she is attracted by such car brands as the Chevrolet Camaro and Chevrolet Corvette. The images are applied with oil paints on aluminum sheets, which allows the artist to achieve maximum realism and characteristic "glossiness".
