SOCIAL HYPER-REALISM

creator: ALEKSANDR ALYONIN

 

Social hyperrealism is a photographically exact image of the social reality. If there was a photo camera which could picture the feelings and the soul of this society, it would picture precisely those hysterical horror pictures that I present to your attention.

Social hyperrealism has nothing to deal with expressionism or abstract expressionism.

 

In expressionism an artist expresses his own feelings while in social hyperrealism he reads off the soul and suppressed identity of his society.

An artist-social hyperrealist does not see one person; he sees and feels many people at once. 

In my pictures a scream of hundreds of thousands people of my city is expressed.

 

In my pictures genuine reality, genuine feeling from which lots of people try to run away is shown. People close their eyes on this reality while I draw it in its full “glory”. So, social hyperrealism is an extreme form of picturing reality.

 

We must proceed from the fact that hyperrealism is a photographically accurate imaging of interior, people and anything else from what visible reality consists of using pencils and brushes. But what is social hyperrealism? It I photographically, to the smallest detail, exact picture of the feelings and the soul of this society, of social reality. 

 

And this is the most accurate picture of this society. I draw a huge censor who is watching you and who’s heart is broken because of what he sees. If God saw my pictures, he would say that I drew his own heart and feelings when he looks at what is going on down here. If aliens from a civilized planet came here, they would understand my pictures because their impression from our society would be the same.
