“Optical Disillusion - contemporary surrealism
Chicago, USA - John Giesa of Hasbrook Galleries submitted these works as part of their online show Optical Disillusion, launching on April 15.
Notes from John:
The Inspiration for the show was initially derived from our conception of contemporary surrealism, and how reality and dream scape, from the darkest reaches to the heart of the sun, are becoming ever more indistinguishable and malleable. This idea morphed into a larger sense of disillusionment and how it fits into surrealism. Using our web platform as a space these fleeting differences will be prevalent as we start with surreal photography and move through the space into a looser reality.
We seek to host online shows loosely grounded in stories. While many other online galleries organize works based on mediums and pricing, our goal is to curate thematically, to give the viewer a more authentic gallery experience. Using an online platform to showcase work broadens accessibility to viewership and we hope the gallery will visually delight viewers and illuminate lesser known artists.
