The fairy tales of Ma Liang, which seem to be far from our lives, have long been turned into reality by many hyperrealist painters, whose works are comparable to high-definition photographs, and are often mistaken for truth without careful observation.
They can paint a painting to the point where it is indistinguishable from the real thing, provoking people's curiosity to question the authenticity of these paintings, but with the increasing number of hyperrealist painters, people are not surprised by this extremely realistic work.
The "inner volume" of the hyperrealist painter is more intuitive than any industry, and every painter desperately paints the work like a little, and then a little more. Because of the criterion of judgment, the hyperrealist painter constantly challenges the limits of painting.
Nowadays, the field of hyperrealism has been turned into a "red sea" by "red-eyed" painters, without a few brushes, and wanting to emerge in this field is tantamount to a fool's dream. Nevertheless, there are still many hyperrealist painters who have caused a sensation with their outstanding works, and the British painter Robin Elie, born in 1978, is one of them.
As wonderful as his hyperrealist paintings, as well as his life experience, when Robin Elie was 3 years old, he moved to Australia with his family, just finished high school and moved to the United States at the age of 19, during college he also served as a basketball captain at the academy, almost became a professional basketball player, after graduating from the art major, he continued to win awards, all the way to become a well-known hyperrealist painter.
As a hyperrealist, Robin Elie is also frequently questioned, and even more than other hyperrealist painters, the reason is that his work is too real and has a "deceptive" nature, making it difficult to agree that his work is a painting.
In addition to the name of hyper-realistic painter, Robin Eley is also known as the Master of Illusion, in his plastic film series, usually depicts a painting wrapped in plastic film, these incredible plastic films and tapes, in fact, are also part of the paintings, through superb painting techniques, the artist fully depicts the reflection and tearing effect of plastic film and tape, and anyone who looks at it will think that these paintings do not look like a painting.
This way of using hyper-realism to create surreal paintings will naturally be questioned by many people, at the beginning, Robin Elie did not pay attention to these sounds, but later people paid more attention to whether his paintings were paintings or not, which made Robin Elie feel funny and helpless, and finally, he put on the creative process, so that the doubts all became praises, of course, he also deserved these praises.
These famous paintings wrapped in plastic film are not just to show off the technology, but more to express Robin Ely's artistic point of view, with these paintings that we can see through but can't feel completely through, and look forward to seeing the paintings after the plastic film is uncovered. Paintings that can never be opened represent the one-sidedness of people's perception of themselves in the modern world.
