Hyper-Realistic Paintings by Darren Reid Darren Reid is a British contemporary hyperrealist painter based in the Midlands. What makes Reid’s work so appealing to art collectors is the finesse, fine detail and application of paint to his pictures, which furthermore possess a remarkable realism. Each painting takes Reid around 250 hours to complete. The fact that on closer inspection his “photographic” rendition reveals layers of acrylic makes them all the more extraordinary.
