Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss Hyperrealism and its significance for modern society through an analysis of the works of Ron Mueck, Duane Hanson, and Richard Estes. Mueck uses variations in the scale of the human body to create an unrealistically realistic figure, prompting viewers to contemplate the fundamental existence of humans. Hanson's reproductions of the human body maximize realism, factuality, and on-site presence, prompting viewers to reflect on real-world issues and engage with the artwork. Estes creates a fictional city, allowing viewers to experience the difference between reality and fiction and contemplate the truth about their environment. These Hyperrealist artworks offer a unique interpretation of reality, showcasing contemplation on humans and exposing issues of modern society, rather than mechanically depicting reality.
