Surrealism

Man Ray, Le Violon d'Ingres, 1924

Man Ray was an American Dada and Surrealist artist.  Man Ray was one of the founding leaders in the charge against traditional art.  Man Ray is also known for pioneering surrealist photography.  Man Ray was known as a Jack of all trades when it came to art, being able to create successful pieces in numerous mediums.  Much of his surrealist works revolve around women, exploring female eroticism, using creative techniques such as solarization, cropping, over development, and other photographic techniques.   

Mindscape or virtual reality dreamscape  -  George Grie -  July 2008

George Grie is a modern neo-surrealist artist.  Grie's works are extremely photo realistic and tend to deal with a unique subject matter.  Grie tends to depict ideas from conceptual thoughts, philosophic views, fantasies, and dreams.  Grie's work tends to depict a dream like world that could only occur in someone's mind.  Yet these fantasies appear as photo realistic as possible allowing the viewer to encounter them as if they were real life locations or situations.  I like Grie's work because he tends to deal with wonderful awe inspiring images involving architecture and landscape that leave the viewer curious and lost in the detail and realism of the image.
