 * Oppose -- I can see no evidence that this has encyclopedic value as an example of hyperrealism. In my opinion, the painting simply does not appear to resemble a photograph, which is the key definition of hyperrealist painting. It is by a non-notable arist, and there are no citations which describe him or the painting as being in the hyperrealist genre. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 09:21, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I can only see this being a FP if Mauro David was created, it would probably need to be good enough for a DYK nomination size and content wise before I could support it as a FP. As for EV on any other page, it would be minimal at best. — raeky  t  15:22, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Support Looks pretty hyperreal to me. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 15:56, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It might look hyperreal to you, but such an interpretation is little more than original research. What are you basing this interpretation on? All I'm seeing is a fairly standard still life by a non-notable painter. NotFromUtrecht (talk) 16:15, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree, without a reliable third-party source to state this artist is notable for hyperealism, then it shouldn't be featured as such. — raeky  t  16:34, 11 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment: I really like the painting, but I feel I must agree with Raeky. J Milburn (talk) 20:15, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose: The image was removed from the only article in which it appears. Per NotFromUtrecht the connection seems to be OR.--RDBury (talk) 09:05, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment It was removed by NotFromUtrecht... Aaadddaaammm (talk) 13:22, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Torn. It is a pretty cool painting and I like the attempt.  That said, just not sure if it is over the top.TCO (talk) 20:45, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
