Hyper-realism

Hyper-realism.

Hyper realism is a relatively new art movement having first emerged from the photo realism movement of the 1970s. Primarily applied to the independent art style that developed in the western world following the turn of the 21st century, hyper realism is a genre of painting resembling a high-resolution photograph.

The transformation from photo realism was fundamentally an advancement in the techniques used to obtain super-realistic paintings and the addition of narrative and emotion into work. As the movement continues to evolve, more and more different media are being incorporated into hyper realist work. From wooden Converse All Stars to extraordinary street illusions, here are some of the best works of new media hyper realism including the Diederick Kraaijeveld work exhibited at Plus One Gallery.

In addition to that Baudrillard had spoken a lot about hyper-realism.

Consequently it is not the origin of the image, but the aesthetic perfection of the subject that becomes predominant. In place of ”indexicality” we get simulation as the digital image enacts social and linguistic gestures that supersede material proof.
