Things you cannot name Surrealistic Tattoos
Founded by the poet Andre Breton
in Paris in 1924, Surrealism was an artistic and literary movement. It proposed
that the Enlightenment –the influential 17th and 18th
century intellectual movement that championed reason and individualism had
suppressed the superior qualities of the irrational, unconscious mind.
Surrealism’s goal was to liberate thought, language, and human experience from
the oppressive boundaries of rationalism.
You must have seen Salvador Dali
and his out-of-the-world, weird, dreamy paintings. Ever wondered about the
sanity of that great artist? Alternatively, have you heard of surrealism?
Surrealism from the definition
and the design wants to meld the worlds of reality and dream into one. In
addition, is there a better way to express surrealism than making one’s body
into a surrealistic canvas? Behold the surrealistic tattoos!
The nature of surrealism art is
the juxtaposition of dreams and reality to create the purported super-reality. In
addition, this nature makes the process of tattooing surrealistic art on one’s
skin is such a tedious task, to say the least.
Think of a complex portrayal of
several objects entwined, amalgamated into one, loaded with complicated curves
and lines and colors. A surrealistic tattoo can be colored or it can be drawn
monochromic as the traditional tattoos but the complexity nonetheless would be
the same.
Why people need to ink such heavy
tattoos on their skin? Easy. Simply a tattoo is a statement. It is a statement
either about oneself or beyond oneself.
