Scott Shellman - Realist Art
Intermediate Art
Called super-realism or hyper-realism, painters like Audrey Flack and Chuck Close often worked from photographic stills to create paintings that appeared to be photographs.
Hyperrealism, although photographic in essence, often entails a softer, much more complex focus on the subject depicted, presenting it as a living, tangible object. These objects and scenes in Hyperrealism paintings and sculptures are meticulously detailed to create the illusion of a reality not seen in the original photo. That is not to say they're surreal, as the illusion is a convincing depiction of (simulated) reality. Textures, surfaces, lighting effects, and shadows appear clearer and more distinct than the reference photo or even the actual subject itself.
These works often contain element of social and cultural meaning.
