Art History


The artist I will use to influence my web art is Ben Horton.  He utilizes a varying amount of styles from retro and anthropomorphic to bold handwriting.  The overall style I will be studying will be that of Surrealism and its psychoanalyst of the unconscious mind. The profit making off of war in this country is an issue left under the rug by the conglomerate controlled media.  The genre of Surrealism looks at the psychological world and how we interact with the physical.  Ben Horton comments on issues such as political corruption and the effect that our "projected society" has on our perception of reality.  The surrealist genre can comment on the interaction between projections of society and reality while giving insight into the metal impact of said struggle.
