Bukan gambar fotografi, tapi lukisan
Can you believe these images are actually paintings? These are the works of several hyper-realist painters like Roberto Bernardi, Eric Christensen and Steve Mills. I still can’t believe my eyes!
Simon Hennessey
Simon Hennessey is a hyperrealist that specializes in portraiture and the human figure. His close ups of people's faces can truly be appreciated when you start staring at the little details. Notice the hair, the wrinkles and image in the eyes (3rd picture).
Medium: Acrylics
Denis Peterson
Denis Peterson is a hyperrealist painter that was as one of the first Photorealists to emerge in New York. Widely acknowledged as the pioneer and primary architect of Hyperrealism, Peterson was at the forefront of the movement. His meticulously detailed New York cityscapes purposely draw your eyes to the huge billboards and advertisements. Peterson wanted the weight and pressure of billboards and advertisements to be a commentary on contemporary society and its effects on people. To me, the way he captures the look of despair in person's eyes or demeanor is equally amazing.
Mediums: Acrylics and urethanes
Robert Bechtle
Robert Bechtle is an American painter born in San Francisco, California. Having lived his whole life in that city, he paints it exquisitely. Adept at capturing the middle-class ordinariness of life, his simple paintings remind us of how complicated life really is.
Medium: Oil on canvas
Jason de Graaf
Jason de Graaf's paintings are so real, they look like you could just grab the objects right out of the screen. He likes to take some creative liberty with his work, not just reproducing it faithfully but adding in an illusion of depth not found in photographs.
As he says, "I don’t strictly adhere to the reference material at hand. I use my subject as a springboard and a means to explore my ability as a picture maker. I use colours and composition intuitively with the intent of imbuing my paintings with emotion, mood and mystery. Throughout, I try to remain open to new ideas and surprises as the painting unfolds."
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Pedro Campos
Pedro Campos creates such crystal clear images it's hard to believe they're made by oil on canvas. Taking everyday objects like Coke cans, marbles and fruit, and transforming them into interesting pieces of art, Pedro's a hyperrealist painter with an extraordinary eye for detail.
Medium: Oil on canvas
Jacques Bodin
Jacques Bodin's paintings almost seem like they'd be photos you'd find on Flickr. A French hyperreailst painter, he's known to capture light and shadows just like you would see in a photograph.
Medium: Oil on canvas
Richard Estes
Richard Estes is often mentioned in the same breath as Denis Peterson, Audrey Flack, and Chuck Close. His work centers around city life and includes amazing paintings on storefronts and buildings with glass windows. Estes studied fine arts at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. After having worked as a graphic artist for ten years, Estes turned his hobby of painting into a full-time career.
