When you see a big man flying, what do you think? Probably: HOW does he do that
When you see a big bird flying, what do you think? Probably: What an amazing thing!
After the excitement, would you say that hyperrealism is a man or a bird?
I believe that in the visual arts, the sensation should superimpose the rigidity of the perfect execution.
The good magician makes the viewers forget they are in a show, while a bad magician makes the viewers admire the ingenuity of his trick.
The best tricks will always be those that are considered magical, just as a Caravaggio or a Gauguin are admired by what they make the viewer feel, not by how they did it.
An observation to those who do not work in the area: don’t be fooled, replicating with fidelity is always easier than creating with a conscience.
