In The Flesh

I've just stumbled upon these stunning paintings through the "most popular" on today's Behance.net homepage. They remind me a lot of Bloc Party's "Intimacy" cover - but removing the romantic side. I absolutely love how the artist has conjured up a stunning sense of macro realism. They resemble something beyond a photo.
