Ben Johnson is an artist hailing from England that is able to recreate photorealistic versions of buildings and spaces in his series of architectural paintings. The pieces are made using acrylic products and canvases, but the detailed and precision in Johnson's application renders the illustrations to be almost life-like.
Johnson recreates beautiful locations across the globe that capture the artistry found in buildings, homes, galleries and courtyards that are symmetrical in design and use a variety of styles, materials and artwork to create the space. Johnson then recreates the locations from a photo using careful brush strokes and dedication to recreate even the most simple of details to bring the painting to a level of photo-realism.
