Project 52 - Detail
This would appear to be a photo of a photo, but it is in fact an excellent example of Hyperrealism Art - this being by Tom Martin entitled 'First Night in New York' - amazing DETAIL of a bar in New York.
Jossiemou, I am so happy you posted this picture. I had never heard of hyperealistic art and had to google it. I just could not believe what I was seeing. The one above is amazing and there is one of a lemon splashing in a glass and another of strawberries on silver foil that I couldn't take my eyes off. Above, I wonder how the color blue of the Bombay rum was replicated. Awesome.
Like Kim, I had never heard of this form of art and I too googled it. Wow oh wow it is unbelievable. A comment on one of the sites was "You'll start doubting your eyes, then your brain, then these images." I have to agree. Our Project 52 is certainly opening our eyes to lots of new things. Wonderful. Kim - do you have a weakness for Bombay Sapphire or is it just the colour? I agree with you how on earth were the different shades of blue replicated.

Its the color, Verushka. I don't think I have ever tasted Bombay anything!
ReplyDeleteNo I have not sampled it either, but our younger son loves it. I love the colour too. It reminds me of a clear blue, sun lit sea.
DeleteI have loved this painting since it first went up - brilliant subject for detail.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sight! So many celebratory bottles and my favorite the Bombay Sapphire is staring at me!!
ReplyDeleteI really like this and was not familiar with this type of art either! Thanks so much for sharing.
