Hyperrealist paintings are so detailed that they can be mistaken for photographs.
Related words スーパーリアリズム Also means 'superrealism' or 'photorealism'; often used interchangeably with ハイパーリアリズム, though some distinguish hyperrealism as a more emotionally detached or exaggerated form.
フォトリアリズム Photorealism; closely related movement focusing on replicating photographs exactly. Hyperrealism may add narrative or emotional elements beyond pure photographic reproduction.
Etymology Borrowed from English 'hyperrealism', itself from 'hyper-' + 'realism'. The term entered Japanese art vocabulary in the late 20th century.
