Specializing in Surrealism Tattoos

When it comes to confusion as to what constitutes the style of art, Surrealism is up there with Abstract work. It really is difficult to apply a definition to something that is so interpretive and subjective in nature. Nonetheless, it is important to add clarity.

A number of artists will render (sketch, draw, or paint) something that appears strange, weird, and takes liberties with proportions and call themselves Surrealism artists. That is not the qualifier. By definition, Surrealism is both an art and cultural movement that challenges traditional interpretations of reality. Surrealism artists typically draw from dream states and the subconscious where subjects are irrationally placed in illogical settings, creating a work that can be beautiful in its absurdity. There is a lot of nuance and interpretation involved, which is why it can be very difficult to pinpoint an artist to commission a work from. This is particularly true for the Surrealism style of tattooing.
