# Hyperreal Cutting Board Illustrations Ivan Hoo Draws Incredibly Realistic Images on Wooden Boards By Megan Facciuolo | Published 2014-05-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/board-illustrations References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/365506/Artist-Creates-Incredible-Realistic-Drawings-On-Wooden-Boards/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ivan-Hoo-Art/441601749220801) A Singapore artist name Ivan Hoo creates imaginative cutting board illustrations that look extremely realistic. He does so by the use of pencils and pastels on a wooden board, of course, accompanying his clearly raw talent. His artworks are influenced by original photorealists like Audrey Flack and Roberto Bernadi. Photorealism is the perfect way to make a viewer engage with the artist's work; it combines deceptive aspects that result in the viewer having to exceed a two-second glance. Ivan's incredible drawings undoubtedly make you question if they are real or not upon first glance. Some of the hyperreal photos include what looks like broken eggs on a cutting board, crumpled paper, a spilled can of cola and a broken glass. His use of textures even make the spilled liquid drawings look wet to touch. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Hyperreal Art:** The trend of hyperreal art continues to impress viewers with its ability to blur the line between reality and illusion, presenting disruptive innovation opportunities in the field of visual arts. - **Photorealism:** The photorealism trend challenges artists to push the boundaries of traditional mediums and techniques, opening up opportunities for disruptive innovations in the art industry. - **Illusionary Realism:** The emergence of illusionary realism explores the power of visual deception, providing potential disruptive innovation opportunities in the creation of captivating and mind-bending artwork. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can leverage hyperreal art and photorealism techniques to create visually stunning and thought-provoking pieces, pioneering disruptive innovation in artistic expression. - **Fine Arts Education:** The trend of hyperreal art and the demand for photorealism skills in the art industry present disruptive innovation opportunities in fine arts education, pushing the boundaries of traditional artistic instruction. - **Art Galleries:** Art galleries can embrace the trend of hyperreal art and illusionary realism, providing platforms for artists to showcase their mind-bending creations and spearheading disruptive innovation in the art curation experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometric Sculpture Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-box.md) - [Multifunctional Kitchen Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latticeboard-multipurpose-kitchen-board.md) - [Intricate Wooden Serving Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-serving-board.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Hyperrealistic Food Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looks-delicious.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [High-Performance Cutting Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-steelport-steelcore.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md)
