SERGE MARSHENNIKOV - Russian Painter - Hyperrealism - Advanced Photo Realistic Art (HD)

Art is often observed as a way to detach from reality; a key to liberating some hidden meaning in the world that surrounds us. This is not completely true for art genres like Hyperrealism, where the line between reality and art is practically erased in the paintings and sculptures these artists create. Several branches of realism are clearly focused on producing artwork that resembles a real-life image, some of them even going further and beyond. Hyperrealist artists often include preliminary drawings or grisaille paintings and molds into their creative process. A grisaille painting is one that uses a single tone, especially gray, to produce a three-dimensional effect. To achieve that high level of accuracy, the artists usually employ photographic slide projections or multi-media projectors onto canvases or other rudimentary techniques like gridding. Hyperrealism is a genre of painting and sculpture resembling a high-resolution photograph.
