Mark Tansey

Mark Tansey has a very cool style.  His pain tings are done in a monochromatic palette.  He uses shades of blue, red, black, purple, and green.  The paintings are realist but there is always something a little bit off in them.  They are almost comical.  The figures are perfectly rendered though looking like a photo.  I really like the subjects of the paintings with my favorite being one of a rooster looking in the mirror.  They are not paintings that you can take once glance at and move on.  The monochromatic aspect of them is really interesting.  It reminds me a lot of taking an image in photoshop and adjusting the hue to one color set.
