Hyperrealism, this is not a body!
- The Maillol Museum exhibits some forty hyperrealistic sculptures and confronts us with the world of the perfect illusion
- The big names in hyperrealist sculpture are on display. We see works by Ron Mueck, Erwin Wurm, Maurizio Cattelan, Robert Graham, etc.
- This exhibition on hyper-realist art is spectacular and disturbing, even disturbing
- The sculptures are larger-than-life characters, on a human scale with a stunning precision and sense of detail
- You have to get closer to make sure that they are indeed sculptures and not real beings made of flesh, with their hair, their fine lines…
- The purpose of hyper-realism, in addition to the exceptional technical performance, is to provoke and destabilize us
- This art confronts us with today’s world with questions about its violence, poverty, the aging of bodies…
- The location of this exhibition, in the Maillol Museum, with the magnified bodies of Maillol’s sculptures as a mirror, adds to the questioning and makes the message of hyper-realism stronger
- This exhibition arrives in Paris after having toured the world: Spain (Bilbao), Belgium (Liège, Brussels), the Netherlands, Australia…
- We loved this exhibition, we were blown away by the works and surprised by all the questions raised by this exhibition
- An exhibition to see with your teenagers!
