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 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.

I really enjoy all of your pieces that you've chosen for all of your topics. It's a lot of different contrast and color. The way you describe how you feel about the pieces you've found interesting, I can understand where you're coming from. Love this :)
ReplyDeleteI love your style. You do a lot (your blog and your work in class) in black and white with really cool, unique structures. I also think it's cool that your art looks very put together even if they have a very surrealistic quality. Keep it up :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but I kinda feel like a lot of people are obsessed with this kind of extremely detailed paintings. The painters must be very skilled in order to do this kind of art. Also, did you get the idea of your current drawing from the Layered Portrait above? If you did, KEEP GOING I really want to see what it's going to look like when it's finished.
ReplyDeleteI love the last three, they all are a similar shape but they're completely different styles. and the last one in black and white reminds me of the stuff you do!
