Immaculate Perception

Surrealism, asserted André Breton, was above all "a revolutionary movement."  And that movement, both visual and literary, was largely identified with the dream. Shock, non-sequitur, unlikely but often gorgeous juxtapositions were the signature elements of surrealist works. These ideas come to term in Immaculate Perception by Matthew Rose. Beautifully printed by Mariela Cadiz in Paris, the work is a lullaby in the surrealist cannon: A young girl in a bob cut dreams in a dream of a lemon tree.  She is the revolution, says the artist.

Immaculate Perception measures 80 cm by 60 cm and is printed on fine art paper in a limited edition of 50 signed, dated and numbered prints.  Immaculate Perception sells for 164,05€ unframed.

• Limited edition of 50
• Signed, numbered and dated (2009).

Immaculate Perception.

Surrealism, asserted André Breton, was above all "a revolutionary movement."  And that movement, both visual and literary, was largely identified with the dream. Shock, non-sequitur, unlikely but often gorgeous juxtapositions were the signature elements of surrealist works.

These ideas come to term in Immaculate Perception by Matthew Rose –  a lullaby in the surrealist cannon: A young girl in a bob cut dreams in a dream of a lemon tree.  She is the revolution, says the artist.

Based on a smaller collage, Immaculate Perception measures 80 cm x 60 cm (31½ by 23¾ inches) and is inkjet printed on fine art paper in an edition of 50, each print signed and numbered and dated by the artist and printed on high quality acid-free fine art paper.

From Cool Hunting: "Some people like taking their time," says artist Kim Rugg, whose artistic achievements are measured in millimeters, used X-ACTO blades and picas. We spent the afternoon with Rugg in her London home and studio talking about her work re-imagining newspapers, comics, stamps and cereal boxes using their existing form while rearranging their content. Kim finds inspiration from the mundane and common objects around us. Her wicked knife skills and tenacious attention to detail have created a body of work that is as impressive as it is curious."
