What is Hyper-realism?

Hyperrealism is a genre of sculpture and painting that closely resembles high-resolution photographs. It is an evolution of Photorealism and is often applied to an independent art style or movement that became prominent in Europe and the United States in the early 2000s. Hyperrealist artists focus on extreme detail and precision, creating works that are often indistinguishable from real-life images.
