Hyperrealism Drawing Eye By Jono Dry

Self-taught artist Jono Dry brings his imagination to life with a pencil and paper. In his awe-inspiring hyperrealism drawing style, the South African creative fuses an incredible attention to detail with a surrealist point of view—making his work both technically stunning as well as conceptually compelling.

Dry’s photograph-like artwork showcases often-overlooked characteristics like the delicate folds of the skin and the glisten on a single water drop. He leaves nothing out, although his drawings are often devoid of a background. This gives them a dramatic, almost theatrical feel, and this lack of context allows us to impart our own opinions about what the work means.
