Chris Labrooy: The Art of Fake Realism

I’m rather intrigued by Chris Labrooy’s 3D graphics. Some are fantastically realistic, while others are so obviously fake—but in such a realistic manner. As 3D rendering technologies progress, they are beginning to achieve a quality best described as “too real.” Reality, similar to humanity, is perhaps best characterized by its imperfections. In contrast, Labrooy’s graphics are overly perfect.

Regardless, Labrooy did a great series of typographical posters, spelling out architects’ names with their buildings. Icons such as Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Osco Niemeyer, and Frank Gehry are included in the series.
