Shan Fannin Still-life Paintings
American, b. 1969
Shannon "Shan" Fannin (b. 1969) specializes in contemporary vehicle portraiture, creating dynamic acrylic compositions that capture both mechanical precision and emotional resonance. A California native who initially trained in special education art instruction, Fannin spent 25 years in marketing and business before returning to artistic practice in her forties. Her automotive focus developed organically through participation in classic car culture, leading to professional recognition within a year of resuming her art career. Fannin works exclusively in acrylics, often on canvases measuring up to six feet in length. Her technique combines detailed brushwork with gestural hand-painting, creating textured surfaces that emphasize reflection and movement. The artist travels internationally to photograph subjects and interview owners, incorporating these personal narratives into works that explore vehicles as symbols of aspiration and identity. Her paintings have garnered awards at national and international exhibitions and have been featured in automotive and fine art publications worldwide. Collections include works held across three continents. Based in Austin, Texas, Fannin is represented by select galleries across the United States including Abend Gallery.to

Photorealism Still Life Acrylic Painting Flower Photo Realist Orchid, Vivid Blue
By Clarence Measelle
Located in Surfside, FL
Close up of a flower. canvas measures 30 X24 inches.
Clarence Skip Measelle has been featured in over 100 gallery and museum exhibitions, competitions, group shows, and solo shows throughout the US. He is best known for his work in photorealism and abstract illusionism.
The name Photorealism (also known as Hyperrealism or Superrealism) was coined in reference to those artists whose work depended heavily on photographs, which they often projected onto canvas allowing images to be replicated with precision and accuracy. The exactness was often aided further by the use of an airbrush, which was originally designed to retouch photographs. The movement came about within the same period and context as Conceptual art, Pop art, and Minimalism and expressed a strong interest in realism in art, over that of idealism and abstraction.
The first Photo realists were Chuck Close, Don Eddy, Richard Estes, Ralph Goings, Robert Bechtle, Audrey Flack, Denis Peterson, Lowel Nesbitt and Malcolm Morley. Each began practicing some form of Photorealism around the same time, often utilizing different modes of application and techniques, and citing different inspirations for their work. However, for the most part they all worked independent from one another. For example, Chuck Close came of age at the height of Pop art and Andy Warhol's Factory, and was based out of SoHo in lower Manhattan. And Audrey Flack, a graduate of Yale, began creating photo-based works in the early 1960s.
