Detailed Description

Massurrealism is a portmanteau of the words “mass” and “surrealism”. It is a style of art that combines elements of both mass culture and surrealism. The term was coined by artist Mike Francis in the early 1990s. Francis was inspired by the work of surrealist artists such as Salvador Dali and René Magritte, as well as mass culture icons such as Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley. Francis’s own work often features celebrities and everyday objects in surreal situations. For example, one of his paintings shows Marilyn Monroe with a third eye in the center of her forehead. Other artists who have been associated with massurrealism include Ray Caesar, Rob Gonsalves, and Chris Mars. Massurrealism is sometimes seen as a reaction against the “high art” of traditional surrealism. Whereas traditional surrealism often relies on shock value and can be difficult to interpret, massurrealism is more accessible and often humorous. Despite its name, massurrealism is not necessarily mass-produced. Many massurrealist artists are self-taught and work outside the mainstream art world.
