We Love Brisbane – Website Design

The idea in this series is to show beautiful and inspiring houses. Houses that are remarkable for its design, elegance, elements, concept or simply because they are beautiful. So if you like architecture, interior design and beautifully designed houses, you are at the right spot. Check out this week beautiful house and stay tuned for more…

The Go Vap House in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietmam is a project by MM++ Architects. I couldn’t find details about the house at their website but I believe the images communicate a lot. The house was designed for a couple with 3 young kids.

This house is beautiful and clean. Wide spaces, great choice of materials and the indoor garden created a really inspiring house, definitely a great place to live! 😉

Check out MM++ Architects website for further details about this and other projects. See you next time.

We found this house at ArchDaily.

The images Paul Cadden creates are so incredibly realistic that you might first mistake them for photographs. But look closely and you’ll see that they’re actually drawings.

Cadden creates “hyperrealistic” portraits and landscapes, which so resemble real life that the subjects seem to come alive. The difference between hyperrealism and photorealism is subtle, but the two are distinct styles.

In photorealistic drawings, the purpose is to recreate reality exactly. In hyperrealism, the drawings are meticulously detailed to evoke a reality that wasn’t evident in the initial photo the illustration was based on. In this way, hyperrealistic art is an illusion of reality, rather than a recreation.

These hyperrealistic images often incorporate emotional, social, cultural, and political thematic elements to extend the visual illusion. This makes it a distinct departure from photorealism.

In an interview with the UK-based Daily Mail, Cadden state that his “inspiration comes from the phrase ‘to intensify the normal’.” He further said:

I try to study the internal aspect of the image rather than focusing solely on the external part. I can fall in love with an image — if that doesn’t sound too hippy.

Below are a sampling of his drawings, all created with pencil, paint, or charcoal on canvas. You can check out more on his website.

What do you think of hyper-realistic drawings and paintings like these? Have you seen other notable artists working in this style?
