Though many artists create works wholly detached from reality, hyperrealism exists to blur the lines. Although pictures, paintings, and sculptures will look almost exactly like a photograph, you’d be shocked to learn it was done by pencil or acrylic.
Photorealism typically shows the subject as is, while hyperrealism exposes every detail of the subject, flaws and all. Let’s take a look at some amazing selections of hyperrealistic pieces from various artists.
