Modern surreal art does not have to emulate the early works but can evolve to relate to our current culture. The properties of surrealism remain unchanged with some of them being -
the unexpected, the apparent nonsense and the outrageous.
They give the artist a poweful way to express themselves.
Some of the properties of surrealism are used in this example of modern surreal art. The painting is subtle, joyful and a little mysterious but above all fun - the way this artist felt when painting it perhaps? I always paint emotions and this one was lighthearted.
Modern surreal art is not usually painted with watercolour but this piece is. Watercolour is a wonderful medium that lends itself to blended colours and transpararency which as you can see is used throughout this piece.
