Hyperrealism• a genre of
painting and sculpture resembling a high-resolution photograph.
• Hyperrealism is considered an advancement of Photorealism

The Difference• Hyperrealism, although
photographic in essence, often entails a softer, much more complex focus on the subject depicted, presenting it as a living, tangible object.
• paintings and sculptures are meticulously detailed to create the illusion of a reality not seen in the original photo.

• the hyperreal painter is more literal, incorporating photographic limitations such as depth of field, perspective and focus
• Projection transfer techniques are often used to get exact detail in large paintings – this is acceptable for this style of painting

Ralph Goings Artist Statement
"In 1963 I wanted to start painting again but I decided I wasn't going to do abstract pictures... It occurred to me that projecting and tracing the photograph instead of copying it freehand would be even more shocking. To copy a photograph literally was considered a bad thing to do. It went against all of my art school training... some people were upset by what I was doing and said 'it's not art, it can't possibly be art'. That gave me encouragement in a perverse way, because I was delighted to be doing something that was really upsetting people... I was having a hell of a lot of fun..."

Robert Bechtle
• Bechtle’s paintings are characterized by the misty quality of the light in San Francisco, middle class neighborhoods, automobiles, and ordinary people.
• If he imparted one thing to his students, Bechtle -- who retired in 1999 from SFSU -- hopes it was "the old cliché of how to see.”
• "He would get people to slow down and look“

Scale as part of the Aesthetic Objective
• Hyperrealistic images or sculptures are typically 10 to 20 times the size of the original photographic reference source, yet retain an extremely high resolution in color, precision and detail.
