Artist’s Comment:

The hazy, atmospheric perspective of the distant city creates a believable world that is then contrasted with unbelievable elements.

The image has a subtle canvas texture, a tactile quality. This bridges the gap between digital art and classical oil painting. Further grounding the artwork with realism, offsetting its unusual nature with warmth.

The man is feeding the void – perhaps a dark metaphor for modern consumption: we give our energy, our money, and our resources to a bottomless pit that gives nothing back.

More than just ‘man over a hole’ .  The woman with the parasol invites the audience to board the train and view the world safely behind windows. Once aboard, the Giraffe informs the passengers to elevate their perspective beyond the obvious as they move along.

Artist’s Comment:

Soft-surrealist image that privileges restraint over spectacle. A subtle transformation of the landscape into a psychological field, where objects assume symbolic weight while maintaining their material presence.

Within the concept of retro-futurism, the man in period clothing contrasts poetically with the impossible floating machinery behind him. His calm stance reads as as acceptance. He is not reacting, he is remembering.

The realistic environment makes the surreal machine feel even more uncanny. it’s simply there, upright, defying logic. And the violin is a powerful emotional counterpoint. A silk scarf tied to the bow implies intimacy. It adds softness, movement, and identity, evoking the presence of someone absent but not forgotten.

Overall, soft surrealism, floating a quiet narrative inviting interpretation rather than forcing it.

Artist’s Comment:

This piece reaches deep into the subconscious, quietly pulling at the levers of perception.

Immediately, the metaphor of climbing is subverted, hampered by floating rungs, suggesting broken systems, interrupted progress, or the illusion of upward mobility. Yet the man is not panicked; he climbs regardless.

A faint glow of dream-logic blends into everyday realism, with a quality of light creating depth and mood without over-rendering.

The world is barren, devoid of trees, yet there are cardinals. Their red colour contrasts with the muted, dead landscape, injecting life, energy and hope. Yet, they seem detached as well, indifferent, like floating embers in a smouldering world.

Overall, quietly powerful, blending determination, melancholy, and absurdity. It’s not dramatic; it’s restrained, as much positive as negative, leaving the audience suspended, like the human figure is.

Don't let your mind see art the same way your eyes do.

Artist’s Comment:

Set within a natural, ordered landscape, the work invites viewers to question how context and expectation shape what we see and believe.

And so, Searching for Magritte explores perception by disrupting it – plotting familiar objects at absurd scales to re-frame their meaning.

The Belgian surrealist artist, René Magritte, pursued the same idea. However he used concealment to show that images are not truths but prompts. His work would emphasize “not seeing” to awaken doubt and sharpen awareness.

This tribute does not attempt to replicate Magritte’s surrealism; instead, prompt his motifs, reinstate ‘seeing,’ and then awaken perception by moving it further down the line.

Good art catches the imagination as much as the eye, tweaking a novel awareness, leaving you only to be open to it.
