"Amazing! So Real! Art of Likeness" will be ending soon.
This is the last update of "Today's Amazing!," and I'd like to share with you the work of an Indonesian artist, Chusin Setiadikara. His painting depicts an old Kintamani Market in Bali, which has been turned into a modern supermarket today. His work is so real that you can hear the noise of the market, don't you think?
The painting is based on the photography that the artist took. Please compare the two images. Can you distinguish the photo and the painting?
The answer is... the above is the photo and the below is the painting. Aren't they so close?
The above image is a part of the entire painting below.
Each part of the painting is highly accurate reproduction from the photography.
However, since the artist changed the arrangement of each part, the painting is not exactly same as the actual market landscape.
Setiadikara says "My painting is the real in the imaginary world."
