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.

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.

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 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.
