Human possibilities are limitless. You start to believe in this even more when you look at the works of modern photorealists - artists whose works cannot be distinguished from photography… And this is when, as they say, many people cannot draw a goose in Paint.

This trend arose in the 70s of the last century in America, but the rise of photorealism happened only in the early 90s. It was then that some artists of the "old" and "new" generation looked at painting differently. One of them was the hyperrealist artist from Hong Kong, Paul Lung. It's hard to believe, but all the Floor drawings are made with a simple pencil. And if you hadn't been told about it, you would hardly have thought that these are not black-and-white photos.…

The artist started drawing in 2004, having studied a lot of literature and forums on the Internet dedicated to realistic pencil drawing. Various animals become the heroes of Paul's drawings, but he has a special love for cats. His main muses are 4 cats living at his house.

Paul spends from 60 hours to 2 months on one job. The artist creates all his works with an ordinary automatic half-millimeter pencil on an A2 format paper.

All the drawings are done cleanly - Paul does not use an eraser in principle. To believe that his portraits of animals are drawn in pencil allows only the realization of the fact that everything is possible in art.

The images of some animals with the help of Lang's unique graphics are brought to such perfection that there is a feeling of real presence. And that's what makes you come back to his works again and again.
