This guy probably hasn’t spent a won on a passport picture ever. All he has to do is use his magically talented hands and a few buckets of paint. Korean artist Kang Kang Hoon is a hyper-realism genius who paints oil paintings that look so much like photographs, it’s hard to tell the difference even when you’re looking at a close-up. Hoon takes every hair, pore, wrinkle, reflection and shadow and works on it for hours until it looks totally real.
On top of that, every subject of these painstakingly detailed creations is donning some sort of strange accessory – from hair curlers or a diving mask to ice-cream on their heads or paper grenades. As the artist states himself, “through the imagination, I want to express the harshness of the real word, step into reality, and awaken the senses. Moreover, through my paintings, I want to depict the modern person who dreams of an escape from his inner turmoil.” So prepare yourselves to be wowed and awed by a human genius!
