A Japanese artist recently posted a picture of a hyper-realistic
painting of a raw egg next to a photo of a real egg and challenged his
social media followers to figure out which was which. Most of them
couldn’t tell the difference. Can you?
Yas is a master of hyperrealistic painting, who spends hours on end
trying to get every detail of his artworks just right to the point where
most people cannot tell them apart from photos of actual things. He can
draw various things, from cross-sections of fruits and vegetables, to
ice-creams and cocktails, but his most impressive work yet has to be
this raw egg done in acrylic that perfectly resembles a photo of a raw
egg. According to his Instagram, he spent four hours a day painting it
and it took him several days to complete, but the result is pretty
impressive. I for one couldn’t tell which one was the painting and which
was the photo, and apparently neither could most of his fans.

If you guessed that the image on the left is the painting, they you are
correct, but you still have to admit that the two pictures are
incredibly close in terms of realism. His challenge has been doing the
rounds on Japanese social media, and his original Twitter post has
gotten over 63,000 likes. |
