Hyperrealism

wiki:

Hyperrealist painters and sculptors use photographic images as a reference source from which to create a more definitive and detailed rendering.

Hyperrealism, although photographic in essence, can often entail a softer and 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 new reality not seen in the original photo.

Hyperrealists create a false reality that is a convincing illusion; one based upon a simulation of reality (the digital photograph).

Hyperrealistic paintings and sculptures confront the viewer with the illusion of manipulated high resolution images though more meticulous.Hyperrealism utilizes digital imagery and expands upon it to create a new sense of reality.They utilize additional, often subtle, pictorial elements to create the illusion of a reality which in fact either does not exist or cannot be seen by the human eye.
