Kyle Surges (American, b. 1990) is a contemporary realist painter known for his hyper-detailed oil paintings of everyday American objects. A graduate of the American Academy of Art in Chicago, Surges has built a reputation for his trompe-l’œil technique, creating still-life works that are both visually striking and rich in nostalgic meaning. His subjects like vintage toys, classic packaging, mid-century icons—are rendered with such precision that they often appear three-dimensional, capturing both the physical texture and emotional resonance of these familiar items. His work has earned numerous awards in national juried competitions and has been featured in publications such as New American Paintings and The Artist’s Magazine.
