Art Forms You Can Expect From An Illusion Exhibit

By Betty West


Art has evolved a lot over the last millennia. The art forms that were created by cavemen in the Stone Age are very much different from what is seen in our art galleries today. All these art forms have one thing in common; the fact that they all create an illusion that depicts a different realm of reality as we perceive it. One of the art forms you are likely to get from an illusion exhibit is what is known as hyperrealism. Here is what you need to know about this art form.

Hyperrealism is the creation of an image, a simulation or an aggregate of images that either distorts the reality they want to depict or fail to depict any reality at all. Umberto Eco goes ahead to term it as the creation of authentic fakes such that the conscious will have trouble distinguishing reality from fantasy; for instance when magazine editors use software to airbrush pictures of models making them perfect. This is a growing trend in art, music, and even film.

Ron Mueck is a famous artist known to use hyperrealism. This artist is an Australian sculptor who does detailed works on illusions hence his popularity all over the word. He is best known for his ability to make his sculptures look real as well as how he can change the size.

He has a known sculpture with the image of the baby which fascinates most people. The image of that baby is much bigger than the normal size thus creating the fantasy needed. With the dead father sculpture, one may believe that it is real for it has a corpse which appears to look real.

The artist went to the extent of using his hair to make the sculpture illustrating how hyperrealists strive to represent a version of reality, though distorted. Other works by hyperrealism artists include mask, Girl, and wild man. All of them create a certain illusion out of the reality as it is normally perceived.

Some of these arts are well created, and it is getting hard to tell the real image from the fake one. For example, there is the kingdom one which shows the perfect image of a particular kingdom and its people. After the Kingdom was no more, people had find ways in which stay in that map.

The use of these arts can be compared with the media today where it is hard to distinguish between the truth and the lies told. It can also be seen in the film industry where actors and actress are expected to act to convince the audience that the story is real. Truth be told, many people appreciate the artwork for they want to see other fantasies in the world created today.

If you are a love of art and illusions, there are many museums you can visit to enjoy all the artwork available. In the museum, you will find art paintings, sculptures and much more.
