@Dreamscapes_Collective presents:

CHIMERAS - Visions of Contemporary Surrealism

About

This exhibition explores the intersection between the study of the mind and art, using Surrealism to delve into dreams and mental health through the lens of automatism, the unconscious mind and hybrid forms — where the real meets the imaginary and the psyche creates fantasy. CHIMERAS showcases works that tap into the dreamlike and irrational, highlighting how five contemporary painters have employed Surrealism to express the subconscious, explore mental health, analyse neurodiversity, and challenge perceptions of reality. From spontaneous, automatic creations to meticulously detailed artworks, this exhibition reflects deeply personal narratives, revealing the inner world of the psyche and creating a "counter-reality" in the medium of painting. This collection invites viewers on a journey through the unknown realms of imagination and emotion, where art becomes a refuge and a meditative practice for healing and understanding the mind through painting. Private View: 19th February, 6 - 9pm Performance by Turtle Boulevard @turtle.boulevard Featured Artists: Anna Suwalowska
