Modern surrealism somehow tends to be more skillful and precise in digital area, and as it compares to the former surrealistic art, it gains more attention from mass public. Surrealism today develops in a successful shape that it possesses more commercial elements, which is kind at odds with the idea of art as being a discipline of imagination, creativity and aesthetics. But the art theory is being measured by business and commerce during its long development. Current surrealism is being accepted by public, including artists. It is being acknowledged by mass aesthetic.
The picture shown above is a art work by Ben Zank, a New York young artist who's originally a journalism student but soon found his passion in photography. This artist is a modern surrealism art artist and his works are surely good. His creation is based on the exploration of his emotional experience and often involve his struggling. The picture could be a typical one of his works.
The other modern surrealism artist that is pretty worth talking is Glenn Brown. He is a painter and a sculptor who's best known for borrowing images from artists like Salvador Dali and some other unknown artist of Sci-Fi paperbacks. He brings sci-fi figures in his art work and make it wild and transform it familiar with alien.
