beinArt: a truly surreal experience

For those of you who have spent endless nights contemplating the state of Picasso's mind during his waning years or devoted entire weeks towards deciphering the true meanings of Dali's most bizzare of works, have I found the artistic collection for you.


beinArt.org is a truly surreal experience filled with Darwinian mishaps, transcendent visions, and general insanity. The site features paintings, sculptures, drawings, and digital masterpieces from over 500 artists from around the world, more than enough to make the average person's brain implode. From the pioneering works of visionary Alex Grey to the brilliant and colorful masterpieces of Luke Brown, beingArt provides up and coming surrealist artists an outlet to showcase their talents to the general public, whether or not this public is prepared for the mental onslaught.

Of course, each artist has his or her own distinct style and personality. While some aim to inspire, others aim to shock, while still others seem to have no particular aim at all. Regardless, it is clear that beinArt provides a look into a totally different world, one that the majority of people are unaware of, or even scared to approach. Spend even a few minutes looking through the collection, and I guarantee your third eye will be stirred, however slightly.

Push the envelope, watch it bend,
Jeet

  1. Art must not nessissarily have an aim, but a focus and a purpose. Art must cause growth or a reaction, or is ceases to be art. The purpose of art is to further expand and challenge our present knowledge, and the future avenues it can take us down.
