Photorealism

Photorealism is an art movement that aims to create paintings, drawings, or sculptures that resemble high-resolution photographs. Artists use meticulous techniques to capture intricate details, textures, and lighting, making their work appear lifelike. In the context of representation and mimesis, photorealism pushes the boundaries of imitation, blurring the line between art and reality. It challenges perceptions of what is "real" by transforming everyday subjects into stunning visual experiences, often invoking deeper reflection on how we interpret images in our media-saturated world.
