Widely recognized as one of the leading realist painters alive today, Jeremy Lipking has more than earned his place among the great contemporary masters. His works, combining naturalism and a beautifully refined realism have been likened to those by master artists such as Anders Zorn and William-Adolphe Bouguereau, yet celebrate simple, everyday life. Lipking’s ability to tackle both landscape and figurative art with the same expertise is another skill that further solidifies his place in the master artist category. From his early years in art school, to winning top awards from California Art Club and Portrait Society of America, to best in show at the Prix de West, his path to an abundance of honorable achievements was paved with hard work and dedication. Lipking’s remarkable paintings can be found not only in the leading fine art galleries and fine homes of important collectors today, but on the walls of Americas fine art museums themselves—the most impressive honor for any living artist.
The Young Prodigy
Lipking spent his youth in Los Angeles, the son of celebrated illustrator Ronald Lipking, and was surrounded by artists and musicians. He was often found at his father’s side as he worked, drew early on and exhibited a heightened sensibility to art, music and beauty at a young age.
He spent many summers in the Eastern Sierra mountains with his family, exploring the great outdoors, amid the rocks and trees, occasionally capturing the landscape in watercolors. These childhood times surrounded by the beauty of nature continues to have a profound effect on his art-making to this day.
