That’s not Magic Realism. Magic Realism is a movement in art and literature that started in Latin America in the 1920s. The term was coined by the Cuban novelist and historian Alejo Carpentier. One of the most well known examples of magic realism in art would be the paintings of Frida Kahlo.

If you like photo-realistic painting I highly recommend visiting the O.K. Harris gallery on West Broadway in Soho.
To: Doogle
Long before there was CGI, there was “photo-realism” through the use of photography, projectors and airbrushes.

even better than the b&w pencil drawings!
how do it without a single brush stroke showing is what gets me as they have to be completely flat, not let the canvas show through yet still not let the paint build up...

You are exactly right! They project a photograph onto their surface and copy it exactly. I am not impressed.

Man, this guy is really putting the ultra in ultra realism. I like how he reproduces the limited depth of field of photographs with paint.
To: Doogle
Admittedly, it’s a cool effect but, isn’t making a work of art look like a photograph...umm...self defeating? Is it really art or just mimicry? Think about it. If I copy a masterpiece exactly- the Mona Lisa for instance. Is that art? True art comes from your heart, your id, your ego, your very soul- not a copy machine.
