Hyperrealism

Origins

Hyperrealism is a visual style that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is characterized by the creation of artworks that are so detailed and lifelike that they appear to be photographs. Artists in this style meticulously recreate every detail, using various techniques such as high-resolution photography, precise brushwork, and detailed shading. Hyperrealism gained fame due to its ability to blur the line between reality and art, leaving viewers astounded by the uncanny resemblance to actual photographs.
