Photorealism - Glennray Tutor

Patrick Caulfield uses Photorealism.
Photorealism is the genre of painting, based on the use of photography to gather information, which is then used to create a painting that appears photographic. The term is primarily applied to paintings from the US art movement that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Evolved from Pop Art and a reaction to Abstract expressionism and minimalism (against the last two).

I love the use of bright colours so it would make sense to look at an artist called Glennray Tutor. He (born in Kennett, Missouri in 1950) is an American painter who is known for his photorealistic paintings. He is considered to be part of the Photorealism art movement. His paintings are immersed with bright colours, nostalgic iterms, metaphor and with a complete focus on detail.

Glennray Tutor has also illustrated a few book covers in his time. Books by Michael Bishop which can be described as fantasy pieces.
Fantasy is something which I am looking into with the media codes and conventions for this particular genre.
