Amazing: Lukisan Resin

Lukisan di Atas Resin yang Menakjubkan

Resin adalah sejenis zat polimer alami ataupun sintetik yang salah satu fungsinya adalah dapat mengikat kation dan anion tertentu. Biasanya tuh dipake buat piala, atau gantungan kunci yang di dalamnya ada hewan atau tumbuhan yang terbungkus bola bening, nah, bola bening inilah yang dinamakan resin.

Seorang seniman asal Jepang, Riusuke Fukahori memamerkan hasil karya seninya di sebuah galeri bernama ICN Gallery, London. Karyanya kali ini adalah berupa lukisan di atas resin, kategori karya ini termasuk dalam painting dan sclupture, karena melibatkan obyek 3D dalam karya. Karya ini mencoba menangkap keindahan dari sebuah wadah berisi ikan emas yang bergerak bergerombol dalam "air". Bagi anda yang pertama melihat foto ini pasti anda akan mengira itu adalah ikan sungguhan, tapi kenyataannya tidaklah demikian, karena ikan itu adalah murni lukisan tangan yang ditutup lapisan-lapisan resin hingga terlihat sangat nyata.

::Berikut adalah karya seni menakjubkan itu::
 




Ini gambar detil ikannya gan, baru keliatan kalo ini lukisan kan??



Ini adalah karyanya yang lain di wadah yang berbeda.

Grand Prize Winner and Nature Winner - SPLASHING: This photo was taken when I was taking photos of other insects, as I normally did during macro photo hunting. I wasn’t actually aware of this dragonfly since I was occupied with other objects. When I was about to take a picture of it, it suddenly rained, but the lighting was just superb. I decided to take the shot regardless of the rain. The result caused me to be overjoyed, and I hope it pleases viewers. Batam, Riau Islands, Indonesia (Photo and caption by Shikhei Goh)
