A local art gallery is a good place to go not only when you have an appreciation for fine art, but also when you're interested in buying a piece of art to hang in your home or business. Most galleries feature many types of art, but one genre that may catch your attention is photorealism. This type of art features paintings that are highly realistic. If you approach a photorealism painting and wonder aloud whether it's a painting or a photograph, you won't be the first art gallery visitor to have this question. Here are three popular photorealism art examples that may interest you.
Humans
Portraits of people are easily among the most impressive types of photorealism art that you'll see on display at your local art gallery. It's common to see all types of people represented in these portraits — adults, children, people of different genders and ethnicities, and so on. Some of these works of art have a cheerful vibe, while others offer a more serious and contemplative tone. A photorealism portrait can be a stylish and impactful piece to hang in a prominent area of your home, such as on your living room wall.
Animals
You can also expect to see a number of photorealism art pieces that depict animals of all types. While you may come across some pieces that feature domestic animals such as cats and dogs, it's very common to see pieces that depict wild animals such as elephants, tigers, and more. Some of these pieces feature the entire animal's body, often in a pose that is exciting. There are also pieces that solely feature the face of the animal, which allows you to see every strand of hair and facial feature in high detail.
Nature Scenery
If you don't want to buy a piece of photorealism art that depicts a living creature, you'll still have lots of options. It's likely that you'll see several pieces of this type of art that feature nature scenery. These pieces can vary significantly, featuring things such as mountains, lakes, forests, waterfalls, and more. Some photorealism scenery pieces have a highly relaxing look, which can make them work well in certain spaces. For example, if you work as a therapist and want a relaxing and beautiful piece of art to hang on the wall of the waiting area of your clinic, you might like a scenery piece. Visit a local art gallery to see these and other examples of photorealism.
