Hyper-Realistic Street Portraits

These Murals are So Intricate That They Appear to Be Photographs

— September 15, 2016 — Art & Design
It is not often the case that graffiti is confused for images in real life but Italian artist Jorit Agoch's realistic street portraits are changing that fact.

The artist is able to create large murals on the sides of walls as many others do, but the intensity and intricacy with which he captures his images remains unmatched. Each of the portraits he reveals show people of various ages staring outwards into the street and their faces are so expertly crafted that they almost look real. Each of the portraits appear to have eyes that follow the viewer and aside from their impenetrable stares, what the photos all have in common are the facial shadows or scars that the artist gives his subjects.

These realistic street portraits are able to capture the expressive nature of the human gaze in a poignant way.
Trend Themes

3. Realistic Art Convergence with Urbanism - The trend towards creating realistic street portraits blurs the line between traditional art forms and urban concepts, presenting an opportunity for artists and urban planners to collaborate on innovative projects.

3. Urban Planning and Design - The convergence of realistic street art with urbanism presents an opportunity for urban planners and designers to integrate art into public spaces in new and innovative ways.
