I deleted my friend’s oil paintings because I find most people here like photorealism paintings like 张歌作品.
I do familair with some photorealism paitings such as these listed below.

I don’t like photorealism because art isn't always about true likeness it's also about the inner likeness when the artist paints from life or from imagination instead of photographs.It’s hard to imagine that a photorealist can draw the first oil painting of my friend with such 气势和空间感。
It’s interesting to look at debate on the Painting Forum. http://forums.about.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?nav=messages&webtag=ab-painting&msg=1703.1 I like what Brian(BrRice) said: “Maybe photorealism tells the viewer too much , there is not enough left to the imagination. All the facts are there. Maybe there is too much information, The human brain likes to keep things simple. Some of the best artists in the world keep their paintings simple. They convey one idea at a time . Too many ideas in one painting can complicate.”
By the way, 张歌说在没有照像机之前超写实油画就出现了。I am not sure that is right. The invention of photography was in the nineteenth century. Photorealism is the genre of painting based on using cameras and photographs to gather visual information and then from this creating a painting that appears to be photographic. The term is primarily applied to paintings from the United States art movement that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Photorealist painting cannot exist without the photograph.
Here is some basic knowledge about photorealism, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photorealism.
