New Surrealisms - Brunswick Street Gallery

Overview

Surrealism careened into the art world just over 100 years ago as a response to social and political change. The now-iconic abstract art championed free thinking, with Dali at the helm and his melting clocks becoming synonymous with the movement. While the founders of the movement are long gone, the latest exhibition at Brunswick Street Gallery explores how free thinking in art manifests itself in 2015.

Contemporary abstract thought collides with traditional surrealist aesthetics in New Surrealisms. The exhibition will thematically explore the subconscious, subversion of reality and visual juxtapositions in a contemporary way. Featuring artists such as Colin Palethorpe, Belinda Sinclair, Kathy Westfold, Ben Holgate, Brad Payne, Jessica Pedevski, and many others, this exhibition will get you thinking outside the box.
