Jaws Acrylic on Illustration Board Original Painting by Artist Aaron Kai

Presented is an original illustration hand drawn and painted by artist Aaron Kai on illustration board. The painted image features characters from Jaws. Jaws is a 1975 American thriller film that was directed by Steven Spielberg, based on the 1974 novel by Peter Benchley. It stars Roy Scheider as police chief Martin Brody, who, with the help of a marine biologist (Richard Dreyfuss) and a professional shark hunter (Robert Shaw), hunts a man-eating great white shark that attacks beachgoers at a summer resort town.

The central image that takes majority of the action in the art done brilliantly by Kai in acrylic is the shark emerging from the water. The characters flanking the side of the shark include Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) with a cigarette in his mouth,  Captain Quint (Robert Shaw) and Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss). The Orca boat is also seen sailing off into the water along with other images from the film. The painting measures 27.75″ x 28.75″ and was signed by the artist,Kai.

Aaron Kai brings the light of the silver screen to life in fine art paintings that deliver a punch. Kai’s work shows a moment frozen in time, delivering his own brand of storytelling that continues long after the credits roll. It is not hard to see the effect the cinema has had on Kai when you see the kinetic drama, detailed workmanship, and heart-rending emotion that simmer in his paintings.

​Kai’s own style of ‘hyperreelism’ blends stories from the big screen with explosive action and keeps that action going on canvas—a virtually impossible feat in a medium like painting. Kai’s compositions live and breathe in the details he painstakingly renders. This immense talent has not been lost on Kai’s who’s who of celebrity collectors, including actor/director Clint Eastwood (Dirty Harry, Million Dollar Baby), director Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Gladiator), actor Harrison Ford (Star Wars, Blade Runner/2049), actor Rutger Hauer (Batman Begins, Blade Runner), actor Sean Young (No Way Out, Blade Runner), actor Michael Rosenbaum (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Smallville), production executive Katherine Haber (Blade Runner, The Getaway), Makeup Effects Group, Inc. (The Matrix Trilogy, Mad Max Fury Road), actor/rapper RZA (Kill Bill, Wu-Tang Clan), and numerous others.

​Having an eye for detail and an extensive knowledge of strategic camera shots and storytelling composition, Kai pushes past simply putting ‘characters on a page’ and creates deeply impactful fine art, capturing timeless expressions that make us feel and remember the films that so moved us. He works with acrylic or oil on illustration board or canvas but also showcases his masterful pieces on leather jackets he calls: Kai Artwear.

The stunning realism of Kai’s visual stories make each painting a rare gem. Only true masters can make their craft look easy and flow naturally when in reality they have spent countless hours rendering and perfecting the most difficult of subjects: the human face and figure. Aaron Kai has proven himself a master of hyperrealism and an artist beyond his time.
