FAQ About The Influence of Hyperrealism in Contemporary Art
Can hyperrealism in art be considered a form of illusion?
Yes, hyperrealism can be considered a form of illusion because while it strives for extreme likeness, it goes beyond mere representation. The hyperrealistic art piece is an imitation that creates the illusion of reality by surpassing typical accuracy levels found in photographs or less detailed artistic renderings. This paradoxically realistic and artificial nature of hyperrealism provokes contemplation about what constitutes reality in art.
