    There is nothing overkill about creating something that leaves people in awe. The downside to this particular art is there is no signature style distinguishing his work. The second you see it is the second you know the artist. A Da Vinci is unmistakable. A Michelangelo is unmistakable. Upon first glance, there is no mistaking a Monet, a Goya, a Rembrandt, or a Van Gogh. The only thing that distinguishes his work is knowing that you're not looking at a photograph. Once you have that knowledge, then the incredible attention to detail leads you to knowing that you're looking at a Leng Jun masterpiece.

    • @sharongillesp
      @sharongillesp 3 місяці тому +1

      Yes! But it isn’t art.
      The technical illustrator is a “horse-and-buggy” “recording” of a human face, instead of a Maserati photographer. What’s the difference? SLOW. FAST.
      The artists Georgia O’Keefe, Vincent Van Gogh, Romare Bearden, Michelangelo or Paul Gauguin are more than their signature styles, it’s that they evoke our imagination and interest years, decades and centuries later.
      This might as well hang in a dermatologist’s office as a poster advertising skin care. That’s how NOT fascinating THIS hyper-realistic piece is. HOWEVER, hyper-realism can be art depending on IF the COMPOSITION is made to evoke our imagination and interest.

    There's no coincidence this painting is called 'Mona Lisa - About Smile Design'.
    Da Vinci used a specific painting technique on his Mona Lisa, making his brush strokes invisible.
    He was aiming for a naturalistic look that was new for his time.
    Leng Jun has simply taken this approach to a new level.

    To the people who kept saying "just take a picture" that's not the point!
    Some people actually enjoys the process.
    The process is an art form all in itself.
    It's like saying to a cook that "it's easier to just buy a take out" some people happen to enjoy cooking no matter how inconvenient it all is, how many steps it took, or how much dishes we have to do after.
    It can be therapeutic to some people.

    His art not only makes us question reality in "machine vs man made", but also makes us recall that everything that we see on the picture has a long story of human time, from being born, to grow, to take care of our body, to the time invested many many years ago when embroidery, fabric, coloring, the collecting and preparing of cotton was all a human only craft, the act of brushing the hair and everything else that is behind that seeminly "lifeless" photography. This also makes me realize the main difference in photography and painting, and the appel of hyper realism: photography will never make me spend hours looking at it's details. With photography, if we pay much attention, we might think only into about the subject: if it's someone crying, we will feel their paint, if it's a great composition, we might think about them choosing the location, but with painting, above all that, we will think about the mastery, the precision, the choices the artist made to achieve that final desicion. Amazing, truly a master!

    Hyper-realism is simply an artist's attempt at nailing down an image the best he or she possibly can. It should be applauded because it is very, very difficult to be that precise. No matter what anyone says, a painting is a painting and it is very subjective, because everyone has their own idea on perfection. As Dali said, "If you're going for perfection, forget it. You will never achieve it." Has Leng Jun proved him wrong, absolutely not, because nothing painted by hand will ever be perfect.

I do agree though the painting is a bit flat, probably because of existing light and his style of hyperrealism takes into account all the details rather than play with shadows

    I don't know. I don't really prefer hyper realism. It feels odd. Yes he's extremely dedicated and his skills are beyond magnificent. I'm speechless. But I still don't prefer this. I know no one will agree and please don't argue with my comment. It's just a feeling inside. I'm not negative about any of this video. I'm mind blown. I'm speechless. But I don't think art should be hyper realistic. I think it always should be creative and it'll have flaws and mistakes and it'll have so many meanings. That's how I feel about creative works.

    Very nice work. It carrys on the long standing tradition of Chuck Close and others in the 1980s (over 40 years ago) and earlier.
    I think the rapid advance and pervasive growth of media in the 20th Century increased the knowledge of what other artists around the world are doing.. In 2024 there about 10 times the global population - yes, the population was under 1 billion for most of history.
    The forms of art that could continue producing physical objects have benefitted the most, from the spread of Capitalism and the marketing forces of "curators". Visual artists competing by hand and eye work, with the mechanism and technology of cameras and optics is a long tradition. Read up on the history of Camera Lucida and Camera Obscura - dating back to days of ancient Greece and Rome, as well as Albrecht Durer and Johannes Vermeer. David Hockney has an excellent book on the subject.
    Can you believe it? People born before 1990 actually produced our society! Who'd a thunk it?

    It's obvious it isn't a photograph. As is all his art. And although it's impressive, these days it's very common to see these "Hyper-Realistic" art pieces everywhere.

      ​@renelevaillant6601 you guys MUST be very insecure, to have that attitude. Like the art world, you must put it down to lift your knowledge up. Lol, like only you know art. It's comical and the art world needs psychiatric help to get over theirselves.

      @@Benwtradarchery Well, Ben old sport, not sure if you included me in 'you guys,' but if you did, I'm not insecure and because I'm graduate-school educated, I don't need to lift my knowledge. And if anyone needs psychiatric help, it's you. You also should learn how to write a coherent sentence and not use theirselves, which isn't a word. You are an insecure and fearful person who projects onto others that which you fear about yourself.
