The work of 43 realist artists, along with Q&A insights, connect us with contemporary painting that's “disrupted” stylistically, thematically, or both.
Foreword by artist Nicholas Wilton, founder of Art2Life.
Profoundly shaped by the events, forces, and overflow of today's disjointed, social-media-heavy life, the 43 diverse and global realist artists in this book feature paintings that are “disrupted” stylistically, thematically, or sometimes both.
Accompanying the over 300 images in this book are artists' insights, to appreciate how responding to life’s disruptions engages the artistic imagination. You'll be instantly absorbed by their comments presented in an engaging question-and-answer style. Artists include Casey Baugh, Jenny Saville, Joseph Lee, Ruprecht von Kaufmann, Justin Mortimer, and dozens more.
The book opens with a special essay on artist Jenny Saville, who has inspired many contemporary representational artists to disrupt their art. Art writer and curator John Seed, the foremost authority on disrupted realism, is the perfect author and subsequent guide to help us appreciate how art relates to the "super-fast, simultaneous, almost dizzyingly paced scrolling" of our lives.
PRAISE FOR MORE DISRUPTION...
"Elegant and visually splendid . . . a tour de force."
—Michael Shnayerson, author of Boom: Mad Money, Mega Dealers, and the Rise of Contemporary Art
