Massurrealism (1990's)

Massurrealism is a mixture of surrealism and mass media work.The definition was first used in 1992 by American artist, James Seehafer- who ones called it "a form of technology art."His shopping cart picture that meant "represented American mass-consumerism that fuels mass-media".Afterwards he then started incorporated collages of colour photocopies and spray paint with the artist's traditional medium of oil paint.
In 1995, he assembled a small group show near New York and found a local cyber-cafe, where he started to post material about massurrealism on internet arts news groups, inspiring some German art students to stage a massurrealist show.The following year,he set up his own website called www.massurrealism.com - of which he began to receive work from other artists and both mixed media and digitally-generated.That lead him to be known across the art world.
Seehafer ones said "I am not being credited with inventing a new technique, nor I don't think I should be credited with starting a new art movement, but rather simply coining a word to categorize the type of modern day surrealist art that had been lacking in definition. As a result, word "massurrealism" has received a lot of enthusiasm from artists. Though there are some who feel that defining something essentially limits it, the human condition has always had the need to categorize and classify everything in life"
Other artist who's style is the same as Seehafer are- Phil Kocsis, John Adams, Anita Fontaine and Sergio Spinelli.You can see they work at Seehafer website at www.massurrealism.com
