Mersmann-Through The Iris III

Through the Iris III by Armin Mersmann

Realism in art refers to the depiction of realistic and recognizable imagery, portrayed with accuracy, and is often reliant on strong technical mastery. No matter what subject is used, colors, shapes and forms are not particularly exaggerated, but instead feel naturalistic, as if captured with a camera. The idea behind the exhibition ‘Aspects of Realism’ is to showcase artists who use a realistic style of portraying their images, but each has a different purpose, focus and technique of creating.
