Hisaya Taira is a hyperrealist painter focused on urban landscapes, based in Tokyo. Through meticulous observation and extreme detail, his paintings intensify reality beyond photographic accuracy. By rendering light, surfaces, and architectural textures with precision, familiar cityscapes become quiet, suspended, and subtly uncanny. His work seeks a deeper realism that questions how we perceive and inhabit contemporary urban space.
平 久弥 は都市風景を主題とするハイパーリアリズムの画家です。 緻密な観察と極限まで描き込まれた描写によって、現実は写真の再現を超えた強度を獲得します。光や表面、建築の質感を精密に描くことで、見慣れた都市は静止し、かすかな違和感を帯びます。 平 の絵画は、現代都市における「見ること」のリアリティを問い続けています。
