Hyper Realistic Paintings by Simon Hennessey
Simon Hennessey
is a Birmingham, UK based artist who paints realistic images of famous
landmarks around the world as reflected in the lenses of a pair of
sunglasses. Like most hyper-realistic painters, Hennessey’s process
starts with the camera. But instead of simply copying the photograph,
the artist proceeds to add or remove details, depth, add textures, form
and color values, thereby creating an illusion of a reality not seen in
any photographic source. “My Paintings therefore appear clearer and more
distinct than a photograph. constructing my own interpretations of a
reality results in blurring the boundaries of what is real and what is
made up,” said Simon Hennessey. “I use the camera only as a source to
assist me with gathering information.”
