Surreal Art from Dorset - To Ponder

This original abstract piece of surreal art is one of a series 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. 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.
