Of course, part of the story of Hyperrealism is connected to the Realism movement, which started in the 1850s, and Photorealism, which spanned from the 1960s into the 1970s and 80s. This sculpture, which depicts Jesus Christ laid out for burial, was created to be displayed in a church.Ī hyperrealistic painting titled Crystal dish with melons (1999) by Mauro David Mauro David, CC BY 2.5, via Wikimedia Commons Polychromatic wood sculptures like Dead Christ (1576 – 1635) by Gregorio Fernandez, were made even more lifelike with glass eyes and fingernails made of bull’s horn. This is a reminder that Realism and Naturalism – this attempt to depict life as we experience it have long been a part of artistic practice. Renaissance artists were heavily influenced by the ancient Greeks and Romans who began by representing ideal figures, but once they moved into the Hellenistic Period, they began portraying old age, peasant life, and physical anomalies. Caravaggio is an artist of this period, famous for bringing biblical characters to life by depicting them as contemporary figures. Artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci developed observational and painting techniques that yielded amazingly realistic scenes. The establishment of linear perspective began the trajectory of Renaissance artiststransposing the three-dimensional world onto two dimensions. By expanding the scale from the photographic reference, Hyperrealistic art borrows from the monumentalism of Abstract Expressionist paintings. These views go beyond the capabilities of the human eye and allow breathtaking shifts in scale, which are vividly divergent from reality. With new technological advancements come unprecedented image resolution allowing artists to produce images that are truly hyper-real. For example, Ektachrome images have blue tones, Kodachrome images look warmer, while digital photography magnifies saturated tones. Various effects can be achieved depending on the kind of camera used.
Photographic sources are easily manipulated. Hyperrealistic artists often use tools such as selective focus, depth of field, editing and combining images, cropping, adding, and omitting information to create new versions of reality.

Once the photograph has been transposed onto the work surface, the artist recreates and pigments the details of the image. The method is also banal, often using printers, projectors, grid methods, or transfer paper. The subject matter of Hyperrealistic art usually depicts unremarkable, everyday objects, people, and scenes. Hyperrealism can also be referred to as photorealism or superrealism. The aim is to reproduce the hard-edged realism of a photograph. Hyperrealism is a movement in art based on using the camera and photographic material to make drawings, paintings, or sculptures that resemble high-resolution photographs. They played a role in the renewed interest in painting and realism, which surged in the 1970s, continuing into the contemporary moment. Although the original makers of Hyperrealistic art were criticized at first for using photography, their work eventually gained recognition. Hyperrealism is rooted in Photorealism, which came about in the late 1960s, being the first modern movement to acknowledge dependence on photography as part of the artistic process. 4.1 Arinze Stanley Egbe (1993 – Present).3.2 Hyperrealist Sculptors and the Uncanny Valley.3 Hyperrealistic Painters and the Essence of Being.
