Modern Realism

What is Modern Realism?

Modern Realism is an art style that depicts subjects as they exist in reality. Emerging after the development of abstract art, Modern Realism combines traditional realistic representation with modern techniques and approaches. Artists in this style focus on painting or drawing everyday life, portraying realistic subjects with a contemporary perspective.
