Acrylic on A2 paper, hyperrealism

It is very fascinating how the buildings reflected of the hood appear so 'real', accentuated by the surroundings in the shade and the direct sunlight hitting them. The car itself becomes secondary and the buildings something more prominent than the surroundings, thought at the same time many features found in the surroundings hold a quality that recognizes reality as we see it, such as the way you see through the front window or the nuances of the white matt car.
The painting becomes an exploration or interpretation of reality versus hyperreality.

Something special happens, when the photograph is transmitted to the painting, that somehow manages to help the above mentioned qualities appear more clearly. A regular photograph holds a certain visual dimension reserved for photos.
