Tom Martin - Hyperrealism


Did you know that photorealism is an American art movement that began in the 1960s? It is a genre of painting that resembles photography in immaculate details. Along with Roberto Bernardi's super realistic paintings that I posted earlier, I'm once again blown away by these amazing paintings of Tom Martin, a 23 year old hyperrealist painter from the UK.

  16. These paintings look nothing like paintings. I kept looking at them for any signs of brush and paint stroke. Wow, this guy is really good.

  17. That DOES seem like a lot of work to accomplish realistic pictures of everyday packaging. The talent seems sort of wasted on candy wrappers.
