The Supplement: Hyperrealistic Painting

By

While exploring the realms of hyperreality within my  postmodernism research, I came across an interesting article showcasing a selection of hyperrealistic paintings from artists around the globe, discussing their techniques. The attention to detail and realism within to their work provoke a self induced argument that make you question whether or not they are photographs or paintings. There are plenty of examples out there, these are a just a select few, take a look!

    It took me good 5 minutes to process in my head they aren't real photos!! And I understood just when I read that it's oil and canvas. Very impressive

    Hyperrealistic paintings always puzzle me - I admire them, but I find I can dismiss them too as somehow 'not interesting'. That said, I've always liked this guy's stuff - probably because of how filmic it is:

    I think you have to like the subject matter and personally I love this sort of representation of Americana, I also think these paintings are going to become highly collectible/desirable in the art market sometime in the future. They're like one-off postcards.

    Another great artist of this style is Danny Heller. Check him out!
