Those who are familiar with my work know that i do not paint figures very often, but when i heard about this relatively new idea in art called "disruptive realism", i was intrigued. Here is my first attempt at this idea.
John Seed has written a wonderful book about it, https://www.amazon.com/Disrupted-Realism-Paintings-Distracted-World/dp/0764358014
"Disrupted Realism: Paintings for a Distracted World"
Nicholas Wilton has a wonderful interview on You tube with the author https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PxkIRhBZ5Q
Disrupted Realism is the first book to survey the works of contemporary painters who are challenging and reshaping the tradition of Realism. Helping art lovers, collectors, and artists approach and understand this compelling new phenomenon, it includes the works of 38 artists whose paintings respond to the subjectivity and disruptions of modern experience. Widely published author and blogger John Seed, who believes that we are “the most distracted society in the history of the world,” has selected artists he sees as visionaries in this developing movement. The artists’ impulses toward disruption are as individual as the artists themselves, but all share the need to include perception and emotion in their artistic process. Six sections lay out and analyze common themes: "Toward Abstraction," "Disrupted Bodies," "Emotions and Identities," "Myths and Visions," "Patterns, Planes, and Formations," and "Between Painting and Photography." Interviews with each artist offer additional insight into some of the most incisive and relevant painting being created today.
