Categories: Exhibition
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/photorealistic-portraits-of-simon-hennessy.htmlBritish artist Simon Hennessey paints portraits in the style of hyperrealism, creating paintings almost indistinguishable from photographs. But his paintings are not just a photographic representation of reality, he needs a photograph only to collect information. In fact, Simon changes the very perception of reality - by imitation of reality or by hyperreality. Therefore, his hyper-realistic paintings are much clearer than photographs. His own interpretations tend to blur the lines of what is real and what is not.
