f. scott hess -lrb- born july 12 , 1955 -rrb- is an american painter and conceptual artist .
he has described himself as a '' reluctant realist '' whose work is nevertheless grounded in old master craft and the representation of observed detail ... art critic donald kuspit suggests , `` hess uses profane realism to represent the sacred moments of life , for he knows we live in a profane world with little or no sense of the sacred , let alone of the sacredness of art '' .
