Surrealism

Untitled [birds]

This caught my eye because of all the different dimensions it seems to have. There are birds behind, in the middle and on the front. The illusion it creates is outstanding. The technique most likely used here was collage and layering. The feel this piece gives me is a feeling of mystery because you're not exactly sure what the message is supposed to be. I really enjoy looking at this piece.

Untitled

This artwork really caught my eye. In this photo they too two separate ideas: driving and being underwater to combine them into an interesting concept. The artist of this work says that "photography, painting, and cinema are things that feed his world." This type of surrealism is quite a bit different than the modern surrealism. The mood of most of the artist's work seems very melancholy and mysterious.
