UP Visual Artist of the Week: Oresegun Olumide

Hyperrealism is a form of artwork that resembles a high-resolution photograph. These are the works of Nigerian artist Oresegun Olumide

Here are some paintings from his ‘Glistening’ exhibition.

We love his portrayal of pedestrian African life, the brown-bronze hue of African skin that he captures so well, and of course, the photo-realism of substances (even water). Take a look.
