Hyperrealism
Hyperrealism is an art movement that emerged in the late 20th century, characterized by its incredibly detailed and lifelike representations of subjects. Artists strive to create works that resemble high-resolution photographs, often focusing on everyday scenes, objects, or human figures. This technique goes beyond traditional realism by enhancing details and textures to evoke a sense of heightened reality.
The movement is often associated with artists like Chuck Close and Ron Mueck, who use various mediums, including painting and sculpture, to achieve their effects. Hyperrealism challenges viewers' perceptions, prompting them to question the nature of reality and representation in art.
