About surrealism artists.

René Magritte.

Born in 1898, he is a internationally acknowledged and acclaimed surrealism artist for all his life: As the most celebrated Belgian artists in twentieth century, Rene Magritte has achieved a certain level of his artistic achievement not only in the area of surrealism art. The definition he gives about his works is "visible images which conceals nothing--- because mystery dosen't have to mean anything."

 Decalcomania, 1966. One of Magritte's masterpieces, completed by oil. This gives a funny visual shockwave to me when I took my first look at it. The technique is cool absolutely---oil on canvas, but what may be a good thing to talk about may not be the meaning or illustrstion---the space of imagination is expanded endlessly in this piece. 

The sixteenth of September, 1956 by Rene Magritte. In his pieces he describes trees are the images of happinese. He painted a moon on a tree in a blue-gray colors of evening, and the title the sixteenth of September is expressed obviousy by the color usage here. But what's more for me is the tree with the blue backgroud---it feels like sihouette in photography. Well, an object with the single color in solid shape---even the tree here is composed of mutiple colors---makes this piece more interesting. 

So this aspiring artist was initially affected by cubism, which probabaly can be seen partially in some of his pieces, however, in 1930s, during the period of the bloom of surrealsim art,Rene was tired of creating the crowd, odd or uncanny visual things and turned out to start and exhibit impressionist art he created. Although that was not acknowledged and acclaimed and even was sneered, the style was somehow kept in his work to later period time.

About collage.


Moki Mioke.
German surrealism artist Moki Mioki, currently lives in Berlin, she expresses her way of understanding this wide world in her collage surrealism. I was kind of shocked by her fantastic illustration of people and nature when I took my first look at her pieces. Her incredible collage pieces reveal a really deep, surreal, and very close connection between human and this nature, their environment. Her pieces that meshing the whole nature and human race together with expressive portrait and really detailed environment impressed me a lot. Here's one of her cool pieces:

Eugenia Loli.

Here's another artist whose collage surrealism is pretty impressive and photographic---Eugenia Loli, she is actually a photographer and a graphic designer. In her pieces the figure or the background makes me feel I am in a particular setting of a surrealistic film or vintage magazine. More importantly,
there's elements of both Pop art and surrealism( I think she's more tends to dadaism) in her collage pieces---the highly contrast of color and the visual impact.
