About
Why this artist matters now
Ian Hornak was an American draughtsman, painter, and printmaker. He was a founding figure of the Hyperrealist and Photorealist movements and is credited with being the first Photorealist artist to incorporate the visual effects of multiple exposure photography into landscape painting. He was also among the first contemporary artists to fully extend pictorial imagery beyond the primary canvas onto its surrounding frame, expanding conventional boundaries between image and object.
