Hyperrealism can be found everywhere, and is highly present today. I think hyperrealism is a state or dimension which is about depiction/portrayal of something as something more perfect that reality. It's about perfection in every field; how things look, act, feel. Superficiality is also sort of hyperrealism. I find a lot of hyperrealism in advertising and TV shows; "desperate housewives" is a prime example.
In art I think hyperrealism can be about using this kind of dimension to express something (anything), different than the kind of superficial perfection that hyperrealism is in the commercial world. If that is the case, it means also that hyperrealism has nothing to do with photorealism.
I started painting reflections because they where extremely beautiful. Undiscovered live phenomenons right there in front of me. I have been thinking about why I like them so much. There is something very special about the image that occurs when buildings lit up by sunlight are projected and twisted on a car standing in the shade under the buildings on a street. The image appears so real. This I interpret as a sort of "hyperrealism".
But not that there is a world there beyond the existing one (like I think "Orange building on a car" and maybe "Fluid buildings with alien elements" depicts themselves), rather that there are images appearing of obvious causes which in scenarios as the one presented above appear as images more real than the surrounding reality.
I take a photo of a car reflection and the "hyperreality" of it is reduced, the picture achieves a photographic dimension. By painting a hyperrealist (as a "style") painting of it, I have a chance to express the hyperreal dimension of the experience that the reflection images can give in the real life. In my opinion I have so far managed this the best in "White and brown"

Right now I'm thinking that maybe my paintings are interpretations of the theme hyperrealism as art, but I am experimenting with different themes and phenomenons, such as abstraction versus reality, transparency, layering, glossyness...

Going to Church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than standing in a Garage makes you a car...
They're almost perfectly photo-realistic. It's incredible! Keep it up!
