Yesterday We Mentioned,

hyper realistic sculptures, 


 and in the post we made a reference to hyper realistic paintings, and as if by magic today we found some paintings illustrating what hyper realistic paintings are, 

 they are paintings or drawings that look so realistic,

 that you believe them to be three dimensional,

 but all of these paintings are as flat as a sheet of paper, 

they are the work of Australian artist Cj Hendry, who tricks the eye with her hyper-realistic drawings, works that recreate the appearance of thick swabs of brightly coloured paint, to achieve the 3D look of fresh oil paint she layers dry pigment atop coloured pencil, accurately portraying the liquid medium’s viscosity, the series, Complimentary Colors, is far different than the artist’s previous style, which for several years had been exclusively black and white, to see these and more from her past and present, as well as a series of billboard-sized works, on the artist’s Instagram, I still can not believe they are flat 2 D pictures!
