Challenge 20 - Surrealism

[IamSam]

I was under the impression that surrealistic art carried a meaning....

You would be right.

It's the High Heeled shoes that makes me wonder what your saying.

Very interesting image Paul.
Is it a riddle with words and numbers and their twisted meaning?

Forke: 4, four
Loaves: 3, big love
High Heels: 2, a pair
Needle: 1, need

This is what I came up with.

4 a big love it needs a pair.

@Paul

This is what I came up with

You have to fork out bread to buy shoes

I'll be damned if I can figure out what the needle is for

Maybe it's just a little prick in the sand, please excuse the language

Life is tough like going through the eye of a needle.... 3 square meals a day for mouths to feed and clothe. Paul would rather go out to sea to catch fish to make fillet burger for larry, moe and curly joe of AW fame. ....


MANNNNN, that's radically deep...... .....

Surrealism

Surrealist Manifesto Surrealist cinema Surrealist music Surrealist techniques

Surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the early 1920s, and is best known for its visual artworks and writings. The aim was to "resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality." Artists painted unnerving, illogical scenes with photographic precision, created strange creatures from everyday objects and developed painting techniques that allowed the unconscious to express itself.[SUP][1][/SUP]
Surrealist works feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur; however, many Surrealist artists and writers regard their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost, with the works being an artifact.

I think Paul's statement is nightmare while sunbathing. Dreaming of new shoes but the view through the needle says I'm just hungry; don't need new shoes. Or maybe that story about forking over lotsa bread for overly priced couture is more on the mark. As for the needle in that interpretation, I'd say, trying to find the money is like finding a needle in a sand drift. (or is that the wrong metaphor?)

@ gedstar: I might call it Outer Limits Radio, since it's beyond this dimension and remember the old TV show? Maybe not. "We now return control of your tv to you!"

 

[Paul]

My effort tries to convey the need for goods/items via transport, to places like where i live as passing things through the eye of a needle.
Now BTT and post your efforts guys.

Thanks Mike, this is good info, though I'm sure a lot of gurus visited this site already. It is very informative to improve your knowledge about surrealism, before you start to create your own work for this challenge.
I look forward to see your "creation".

[IamSam]

That's pretty good Andrew! Has all the classic elements of surrealism! I like it!
