Connor Hornby is a hyperrealism coloured pencil artist based in the North West of England.
His drawings explore the quiet significance of familiar objects. Rather than depicting pristine subjects, he is drawing to things that have been used, handled and lived with - objects that carry traces of memory, sentiment and time.
Working primarily with coloured pencils on Stonehenge Vellum, each piece is built through months of deliberate layering, with an obsessive focus on texture, light and surface. Hyperrealism is used not simple to replicate an object, but to encourage a second look at things that are often overlooked.
From used retail bags to plush toys and chess pieces, each subject is chosen for what it quietly represents. Familiar at first glance, the works invite the viewers to consider ideas of nostalgia, identity, value and human connection through the objects we keep.
