Tampere - Art Museum - Hyper 2024
Evan Penny, Panagiot
Tampere Art Museum brings to the city the most interesting international artists in hyper-realistic sculpture from fifty years. HYPER takes the viewer directly to the skin, close to humanity. The works explore the relationship between life and death, reality and fantasy, human and machine, as well as various deformations of the human body. In hyperrealistic pieces, narrative and surprising elements merge with the precise depiction of reality. The sculptures in HYPER are technically skilful, depicting the human body as it is, down to the smallest detail, such as a pore, a wrinkle, facial hair and droplets of sweat. The subjects are everyday situations, ordinary people and the diversity of human existence. This makes the viewing experience strikingly real and immersive.
