Jeff Ramirez : This is the life - These are the real things Cella Gallery - North Hollywood, CA USA United States of America   Jeff's paintings almost always evoke the same jaw-dropping reaction followed by the utterance: "this has to be a photograph‰. A relative newcomer to the fine art world, Jeff's technical skill and mastery of photo-realistic painting along with his unique and often humorous take on the art of portraiture, has already garnered him much praise and attention on numerous art blogs and websites. In Los Angeles his paintings have been shown in a handful of themed group shows, including last year's Crazy 4 Cult 2 at Gallery 1988, where Jeff's four small paintings of Arnold Schwarzenegger quickly sold and later were made into limited edition prints. This is Jeff's first solo exhibition with Cella Gallery. Read Indepth Article
