Art Forms You Can Expect From An Illusion Exhibit

By Betty West


Art has come a long way and people nowadays appreciate them for they add fantasy which makes everything exciting. There are different types of illusions today, and it is fascinating what each one of them can do to people. With the illusion exhibit, you will get to understand more on the hyperrealism and how it is done. Below are some facts that you will learn about this kind of art.

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.

One example can be seen in the Ron Muecks artwork which is a sculptor that knows how to bring this hyper-realism into more sense. Through his skills, he can modify any display together with creating jarring pictures. His work has also been showcased in most known museums in the world today, and his popularity cannot go unnoticed.

One of his sculptures, baby is made with such detail that you can spot blood and afterbirth on it. The size of the baby is, however, bigger than normal creating a surreal image. The sculpture called dead father is very detailed such that a photograph of it looks like a real corpse.

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.

When thinking about illusion art, a story of a kingdom where a map was made with such detail that it was equal in size to the kingdom is a good illustration. Later the kingdom crumbled and the people had to live on the map. This example best explains the trend in the media where reality has been stretched so much that it is difficult to differentiate the real from the not.

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 happen to be one of the people who enjoy illusions as an art form, it would be great to take time and visit one of the museums where the artworks are displayed. There is variety to choose from, ranging from sculptures to paintings and much more.
