What is Hyperrealistic Art and How it Started?
Hyperrealism is a form of art that is based on hyper-realistic rendering of people, scenes, landscapes and objects through paintings. The high quality rendered art-piece created as a result looks like a high resolution photograph of the subject. While quite a lot of artists today may be using hyperrealistic art technique but only a few have reached the level of quality that makes you stop blinking. Yes, this is because you cannot figure out whether the painting you are seeing is a photograph or a painting. Hyperrealistic Art is a very new art form as it began in the early 2000s, with its predecessors going back to B.C., you can only imagine a robust growth and fame in this art form in a lot of years but with the quick growing popularity I am sure its going to go a long way ahead.

An artist has his/her own favorite media and the choice to use one specific medium may depend on the intensity or expression they want to create in their art piece. Many artists love using graphite pencils, pastels, oil paints, acrylics, some even use chalk and charcoal. There is no boundary when it comes to art or is there any?
