Wrapped: Realistic Paintings by Robin Eley

British artist Robin Eley creates hyper-realistic paintings that seem to depict canvases enveloped in plastic, creating a stunning illusion that leaves viewers questioning their perception.

His series of realistic oil paintings showcase portraits of men and women, seemingly enveloped in crinkled plastic paper or bubble wrap. The attention to detail is astonishing, with every crease and wrinkle meticulously captured, creating a lifelike texture and depth that is often mistaken for photography.

Not only does Robin create original works, but he also reinterprets famous paintings, adding his unique touch with a hyper-realistic illusion of reflective film and tape. The result is a fascinating blend of classic and contemporary art that is truly captivating.
