Editorial note
- The "photorealistic style" in graffiti refers to a genre of art that is characterized by the meticulous and precise replication of a scene or object as realistically as possible, often to the point where it resembles a high-resolution photograph. This style is often associated with street art and art itself, as it involves drawing something that looks as realistic as a picture or photograph. Photorealism originated as an art movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s, where artists would study a photograph and then attempt to reproduce the image as realistically as possible in another medium. In the context of graffiti, the photorealistic style is often used to create intricate and lifelike representations of people, objects, or scenes on walls or other large surfaces. The photorealistic style requires a high level of technical skill and artistic prowess, as it involves accurately capturing the minute details, textures, lighting, and colours of the subject matter. This style of graffiti often has a powerful visual impact and can transform urban environments into immersive works of art.
