hyperrealistic painting looks like a photograph, but it is characterized by a vividness different from that of a photograph.

A picture of a new plum world is exhibited by precisely depicting ripe plums.

vivid energy filled the canvas as if a pile of red plums piled up with water was taken with a camera.



They are freshly harvested fruits ranging from deep red to yellowish red.



The greedy plums seem to overflow and overflow even after filling the rice cakes.



Each fresh plum is a bountiful fruit.



The white powder that has been oozing out of sugar makes you feel sweet and sour just by looking at it.



The water droplets on the plums add freshness as if it had just rained.



[Lee Chang-hyo/Artist: There are happy memories of playing in a plum field at an old family house when I was a child, so when I look at these plums, I always feel this happy.]



After sticking Korean paper on the canvas, I painted it with an oily feeling to add a feeling of memory.



It is an expression of hyperrealism, yet it is wrapped in a warm light, allowing you to feel the warmth of home.



[Lee Chang-hyo/Artist: A picture should have pretty things.

I'm thinking of something a little aesthetic.

When you see this pretty thing, people are pretty, don't you feel the happiness.] When the



plums are ripe, the artist takes a picture and then

puts

the picture on it and works for several months.



Just as plums are the result of one year's farming, we have focused on drawing plums for 10 years, creating a more real existence than the real one.
