Virtual Exhibition: Arinze Stanley’s Hyper-Real Black Portraiture

Corey Helford Gallery is open virtually. This October enjoy the almost surreal, hyper-realist portraits of Nigerian artist Arinze Stanley which are so detailed, one could be forgiven for thinking they’re photographs.

About Arinze Stanley
Nigerian hyper-realist artist Arinze Stanley presents Paranormal Portraits which he says are intended to explore what it’s like to be black today — in Nigeria and Africa, where Stanley is from, and around the world. Created with charcoal and graphite pencils, the works are so lifelike they almost look like photographs.
About the Gallery
Corey Helford Gallery represents a diverse collection of international artists, primarily influenced by today’s pop culture and collectively encompassing style genres such as New Figurative Art, Pop Surrealism, Neo Pop, Graffiti and Street Art, and Post-Graffiti.
