As an artist aiming for ultimate realism, you know you've got it right when viewers double take. In the case of Cath Riley, I would not be surprised if she fooled the lot. Her skin-tight illustrations appear so much like photos you really do have to look twice. Applying the simple medium of pencil to paper, Riley creates exquisitely detailed hand-drawn portraits, focusing specifically on depictions of the flesh and the human body with a confident definition I've never witnessed before. Riley has recently exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition with commissions from big brands such as The Economist and Nike.
