Surreal Art from Dorset - Room with a View

But there is no view! Exactly. This original abstract piece of surreal art from Dorset is one of many from Dorset artist Alan Brain The individual shapes make sense but their setting is unexpected so the viewer is left uncertain... and that is the purpose of surreal art.

I just happen to live in Dorset England which is a beautiful place but surreal art can come from anywhere of course. Putting recognisable shapes (often distorted) into a nearly impossible situation is the essence of surrealism to stimulate the viewer's imagination to prompt them to decide what the painting is about - it is an exciting journey for those who wish to travel.

Surreal art from Dorset or from anywhere for that matter has a lot of potential and promises - great art for us all in the future. For my part I will continue to paint surrealism and every piece is an original abstract painting genuine original art.
