Singaporean artist Ivan Hoo loves experimenting with the fine line between reality and illusion – and when he creates his amazing work, it’s truly hard to tell which is which. Hoo draws hyper-realistic animals or everyday objects on plywood, often juxtapositioning them next to the real version. He uses a combination of pencil, pastels, and ink to create his work, and surprisingly, he is 100% self-taught. “*I always love to draw realistic art or artworks that tease the eyes and the brain*,” Hoo wrote on one site that featured his work. “*By working on wood, it gives me a lot of dimension and ideas to create something close to reality and it works really well with pastels, too.*“ Check out his amazing images below – **it’s hard to believe the eggs aren’t the real thing.**
