Art at Home | Hyperreal

There is no hiding in the hyperreal. This Art at Home edit reveals eight artists who use intense detail.

First coined by French sociologist Jean Baudrillard, hyperreal art expands on notions from Hyperreality — a term that evokes the symbolism of life through representation in the arts. Through these artists, we explore how notes of surrealism, landscapes, and still life feed through hyperreal art to capture a moment of time, an emotion, or a memory central to the human experience.

Art at Home | Surrealism

Surrealism and art are at play with perception for these eight artists, offering alternate ways of viewing the world.

The Surrealist art movement developed in the 1920s as artists tapped into the power of the unconscious and dreams — capturing a sense of haunting and mystery. Led by iconic names such as Salvador Dalí, Andre Breton, and René Magritte, today, contemporary artists put a spin on age-old themes with modern technology, social media, and living in a time of mass information.

Art at Home | The Human Body | Art & Style | est living

We reflect on the emotive topic of the human body in this Art at Home feature — a subject long depicted in traditional art. From the feminine and sexual to the mundane and everyday, the body in art represents a connection to humankind. In this edit, we see seven contemporary artists reconceptualise the human body into abstracted, surreal or distorted figures to express their emotions and complex relationship to what the body can represent.
