Surrealistic Bloomington, The Venue, 114 S. Grant Bloomington IN

A reception for the showing and sale of surrealistic paintings by Ray Perigo and metal sculptures by Upbeat Art.

To circle back, Surrealism began in the 1920’s and represented an artistic break with reality, and unleashing or the subconscious, using realistic techniques but combining familiar objects in ways that they never occur in nature. Homage to a non-rational world. It’s primary proponents were Breton, Dali, Ernst and Magritte.

You will not find melted clocks in Ray Perigo’s paintings, but you will find vividly colored oils with floating objects and geometrical islands. In Upbeat Art, the work of The Fulcher’s, you will find metal flowers, growing out of rock. These objects de arte prove that artistic creativity can never truly be contained, not even by mother nature.
