Kind Of Art Forms You Can Expect From An Illusion Exhibit

By Betty West


Unlike in the Stone Age period where the cavemen used to make sketches as art, nowadays art has evolved. There are many galleries displaying pieces of work from worldwide artists. In any case, all forms of art have one effect. They make people experience a fantasy so as to experience a different reality of life. Illusion Exhibit has many forms of art including hyper pragmatism. The following are characteristics that you might find important in this form of art.

In this form of art, an artist can create imitations of images from the original one. It is impossible for the common eye to know the difference between the original and counterfeit. This is the making of real imitation in such a manner that common people will not be able to distinguish actuality from Fancy (Umberto Eco). Such cases are seen when editors of various magazines use this technique to modify images of models so as to make them look more appealing. They use so by use of certain software. This is a very popular method normally used by the film and music industry.

The works of Ron Mueck are a classical example of hyperrealism. Mueck is an Australian-English sculptor whose works have gained much popularity because of his attention to detail and his ability to alter the size of his representations, creating jarring images. The artworks are on display in various museums around the world.

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.

In the film world, actors can be seen in scenarios that are hard to happen in reality. However, the film looks so real and viewers enjoy them. Some even try doing such at home but all in vain since they lack the technique and technology that make the films look real.

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.
