Incredibly realistic paintings by Patrick Kramer

These hyper-realistic paintings were created by Patrick Kramer, an artist born in Kaysville, Utah, the youngest child of German immigrants. Patrick Kramer had been taking art classes throughout high school and was encouraged by his teachers to study art at Brigham Young University. "In my work, I hope the viewer senses this tension between photography and the handmade – the instantaneous and the prolonged, the ubiquitous and the unique, the impartial and the personal.” He said.
