It’s like photorealistic vintage glitch art, or something.

Swiss artist Andy Denzler creates paintings that are designed to look like the fuzzy image of a paused VHS recording.

“It’s as if I’ve pressed the fast-forward on a video machine, then hit the pause button, so reality comes to a stand-still. I speed up and slow down the colours. What remains is a distorted moment — classically painted, oil on canvas — which, upon closer inspection is very abstract, but from distance looks real.”

I’m not sure if I’m disapointed that these aren’t based on actual freeze-frames or pleased that he’s taken the aesthetics of the distorition and applied it to new work, and that uncertainty pleases me.
