Matt Doust

UPDATE

Art Appreciation

There's realistic and then there's hyperrealistic. Hyperrealistic is art that resembles high definition photography.

I came across Matt Doust's work while searching hyperrealistic artists. Doust was born in the U.S., but grew up in Perth, Australia. He was known for his large oil portraits of beautiful melancholy faces.

He passed away after an apparent seizure at the age of 29.

You can see more of this young and extremely talented artist HERE.
