Artist Feature: Simon Hennessey
Simon Hennessey, a hyper realist painter based out of Birmingham, UK that specializes in portraiture and the human figure. These larger than life pieces of work are amazingly realistic. We had to share them.
“My paintings are perceived as a reflection of reality but in truth the artwork transcends into its own abstraction of reality. Through using the camera as a visual source for painting I am able to create false illusions that are judged as our own reality.”
