His work looks fine but what's the point? May as well just take a photograph and hang it on the wall. I would want one of his works only as an investment not to display on a wall.

Wat een vakmanschap

Prachtig

People are so stupidly believed the great painters of antiquity did not make Megarealism because they could not hahaha is because in that there is nothing of Art friends! ignorant.

Obviously he's very good at what he does. But of all the things available in the world or in your imagination, and you choose to paint burgers, eggs & lettuce. Really?!

The egg is “eggciting”. The guy doesn’t realize he said it that way.

The fried egg baffled me. It is amazing or the bowl of salad! It's intricate and modern. It was a great experience for me watching this video and the success and acknowledgement Tjalf has received. He has earned it. Thank you.

Maravilloso trabajo realismo excelente cada tema composicion ispirador un Gran Maestro

It’s honestly not that realistic. You can tell it’s a painting because it’s too glossy.

The lines in the lip of the glass salad bowl are, thankfully, nothing to do with Mark Rothko (who Francis Bacon once said of his work - the most hideous nonsense) & the contents of the dishwasher are not like a Mondrian, exclusively Dutch or 'a Holland thing'. Holland, Holland, Holland, did the critics say Holland enough in this documentary?!

Maaan, the captions kinda suck! Lot of half sentences that leave you waiting for the point...

Great works - like going into another dimension - amazing

Sunny side up eh? I prefer Eggs Benedict :)

Prachtig. Dat vorkje sprak me direct aan toen ik dat zag! Als kind was ik al gefascineerd met die afgeknipte rondjes achterop.

A diligent, meticulous work. But what's the point of painting a picture to look like a photograph? Even Rembrand didn't really paint every inch exactly. If you look at his paintings up close, you can see that he used very loose and cleverly placed brushstrokes to achieve an effect that appears realistic from a distance. This is art, not an exact copy

I think this place is now gone.

BEAUTIFUL

He’s talented, but the works seem to lack a sharpness which holds them back for me. There are better hyper-realists, some of which are amateurs on Instagram. As much as I try to get behind HR, I’m more interested in and impressed by artists with an interpretative, painterly stroke. Hyper-realism lacks soul.

Forgot to say. have a real door they open .atmpt to walk through it about 2 feet then they hit the wall the room.

Idea. Fill an empty room with painted canvas cover walls as if it were a full room. Have an easel in room as though that is what people are coming to see. When it is really everything walls, ceiling ,floor, books, windows, dust bileaus, etc. a real room.❤ love your work.

I would love to meet for breakfast with you.

Very good

Leeft Ivo Niehe nog?

Mega realism simply is not art, it's just drawing or painting something that a camera can also capture. Buy a camera, take a picture of an egg on a plate, take it to a printer and have it printer on a canvas then paint over it with the same colors. Again folks . . . NOT ART.

Greg Simkins is more hyper realistic but in a fantastical kinda way.

Utterly pointless, like someone who speaks beautifully, but has nothing to say worth hearing.

I admire Sparnaay's virtuoso technique, but his content is trivial.

Nice…anyone remember Philip Castle?

Blah... boring.

Mooi. Mooi mens, mooi werk.

Bravo Tlalf Sparnaay, c'est prodigieux !

Great work, but would it be more challenging to do a painting from actual composition rather than relying to a photograph? The painting does not serve a purpose, because there is already a photograph. And it is relatively easy to copy an image to a canvas, than translate 3D space to a canvas.

A painting of a photo

These paintings, wile technically accomplished... are no more photorealistic than PLENTY of other artists working in the genre. The use of the word "mega" is just plain silly and serves no function other than to create unnecessary hype and views.

Tremendously skilful but largely pointless. Just use a camera.

i wonder if a chinese painter made the Flea Market Milk Maid, would it be considered as "pirated art"?

Extraordinarily boring and meaningless.

No captions?

extraordinaire, stupéfiant très grand artiste

I normally get tired of the pissing contest of hyperrealism… but in these works, I understand how this is just a modality for expressing many ideas in a way that, ironically, is more subtle than what I normally gravitate towards.

Why bother painting something to make it look so real when you can just as well take a high resolution photo of it with a camera that takes a second to make? Such photorealism is boring and the subject matter is far worse. Who gives a royal fuck about a crushed soda can? Modern art is a disgrace.

Boring and irrelevant, waste of talent, or skill really.

Wow! What an experience viewing this documentary. As an artist you're taught to strive for painterly works but when you see Tjalf's hyper realism something traditional and majestic wells up in you. Complexly exquisite and beautiful!

Check out the art of Jono Dry.

I'd just sit there hours on end drawing di cks. I didn't know what it was. I couldn't touch the pen to the paper without drawing the shape of a pen is.

HR is so boring…

Not fine art, pop art illustration.

Good documentary.... poor painter...

Dear Tjalf, Met toenemend respect voor het ongelofelijke dat je weet te presteren op het doek krijg ik ook steeds meer waardering en ontzag voor je performances. Stillevens ga/ging ik gemiddeld genomen snel aan voorbij in musea of vernissages. Jij brengt een volstrekt ander ‘licht’ op deze tak van art. Hoe iemand dit voor elkaar weet te brengen grenst voor mij aan het onwaarschijnlijke. Wens je veel succes, inspiratie en plezier bij je komende performances. Hartelijke groet uit de Auvergne 😅

Ja, leuk hé, hij begint al het spiegelei "te verbeteren", de compositie dus...... ; ) Jep, that is Dutch, making the egg allready better in the pan.... ; )
