Tapestry

Tapestry is a woven form of textile. It is generally heavy, and the completed work has a decorative pattern, design or realistic depiction of a portrait or real life activities. Tapestries were hung on castle walls and behind thrones as symbols of royal authority.

Art Fabrication

Art Fabrication is a process used in the production of technically challenging or large-scale artworks. It occurs when a designer or artist is unable to fully realize their concept or design on their own and seeks assistance from a fabrication studio. These studios are equipped with specialized machinery, resources, and skilled labor necessary to execute complex art projects to a high standard.

Photorealism

Photorealism is a genre of art or artistic movement that involves drawing, painting, and other graphic media in which the artist carefully studies a photograph and attempts to reproduce it as realistically as possible in another medium. While the term can broadly describe any artwork created in this manner, it specifically refers to a group of painters and paintings in the U.S. art movement that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
