I always liked those pictures, I don’t know if there’s a proper art term for it, where the image is meant to show something that is usually hidden? Not hidden messages, I mean something like the image of a human person but the shadow they cast is that of a spider, things like that. Or there’s an image of a person but faintly superimposed over it is something else to imply there’s more than meets the eye when looking at the person. I don’t know if that’s counted as part of surrealism or not.
I think I can survive meeting a few expectations, at least in that area.
There is a word for it but I can't remember what it is. Maybe metaphorical surrealism or something, but I know what you mean. When it comes to art, there's something I always really liked seeing the different little messages it'll have.
Not all expectations are bad, no. Not all are intentionally curated, but still not all are bad.
There’s never a shortage of new things to learn. I know more about art than I do music, but still not an expert. Metaphorical surrealism can work in the meantime, though. You know what artist I think you’d enjoy if you haven’t come across them yet? William Kentridge. I broke into a museum that had one of his exhibits and got to enjoy some of it while there. Never heard of him before that.
