surrealism

surrealism is all about the subconscious and imagination, its about dream like imagery and perception. surrealism plays a huge part in developing my work as i tend to work from my imaginations or dreams as i feel this is where you find a true expression of yourself in a unique way its very important to my project that you get a sense or surreal individuality and dream like narrative in my work and just like in surrealism there is a bold expression i feel i convey this in a modern way.

I have been looking a lot at alex gray he does mainly psychedelic imagery using very bold coulors he usesd a lot faces in his art work and I feel I may try to incorporate a face or some facial freatures within these somewhere as nothing convey emotion more thamn a face. alex greys work lives in many different contexts but I feel the main one is a commercial context as he sells his prints on t-shirts and you see a few of them on album covers, I think my work would be successful in
