The goal of this study is to analyze hyperrealism paintings made since the 1990s. The hyperrealism painters have created and corrected digital images with digital cameras and computer programs. Then they paint shapes and vivid colors that can be perceived by human vision, on a canvas. This process is similar to the concept of reinventing the medium as told by Rosalind Krauss. She suggests that the reinventing of the medium overcomes the age of post-medium condition, where the identities of the media are blurred and mixed and are based on memories of obsolete media. In this regard, Korean hyperrealism paintings support paintings and canvases, but they also structure the paintings through the automatism method of the artists. Thus, hyperrealism paintings restore the representation of paintings, human perception, and narratives that were denied in Modernism. Therefore, Korean hyperrealism paintings, which have been attracting attention since the 1990s, can be analyzed as reinventing the medium for a new age, rather than following the old media.
