Dorothea Tanning – Pushing the Boundaries of Surrealism | TateShots
Alberto Giacometti was one of the great painter-sculptors of the twentieth century, explains Tate Modern Director Frances Morris. Celebrated as a sculptor, painter and draughtsman, Giacometti’s distinctive elongated figures are some of the most instantly recognisable works of modern art.

Birds link the heavens to the earth...
Almost all my ideas I am considering good come from misunderstanding. For instance, something that I saw with the corner of my eye seemed to be not exactly what it is. Recently I found the interview on TateShots with Roger Ballen. After watching it a couple of times already, I was so impressed. The video itself was really atmospheric, and I would even say mysterious. However, the thing that has drawn my attention is his vision and style. I could describe his works as a beautiful mixture of grotesque, surrealism, and unspeakable life energy.
Most importantly, I have discovered a little particle of myself in Ballen`s perception of his practice. He says: 'A good picture comes from nowhere, a place in the mind that the mind isn`t prepared for and that`s when pictures stay with you.' I suppose this constant playing with concepts, which I am referring to be the foundation of my traction towards art - is the attempts of subconscious to reveal itself.

‘Birds link the heavens to the earth' mentions Roger Ballen later in the video. My bird is the possibility to create I thought.
