Our network here blocks Instagram and Facebook so I rarely see work there. And I do not have a smartphone so even before we moved here I did not see much on Instagram. I worked with Elise Mesner a few times, she is doing well on Instagram and I love what she is exploring in her work. Surrealism is always in the background because it appeals to our base instincts I think. As a child surrealism was the first art I appreciated, the first time I saw images that played with reality.
Outside of Instgram I enjoy the works of Irina and Silviu, D. M Nagu, Keith Higginbotham and many others. The lines between surrealism, realism, art and fashion are breaking down. With the Internet, art reaches much further for many. And I think it is a great thing if the old big galleries, agencies and establishments lose some of their control and influence. Things become more random and bizarre, like surrealism itself.
