Surreal So Good: A group exhibition showcasing contemporary surrealism

April 15 - May 15, 2022
  • Exhibition logo for "Surreal So Good"

    TW Fine Art presents Surreal So Good - a primary artist-driven exhibition in Palm Beach. Artists on display include Roxana Halls, Roger Allan Cleaves, Bond Hardware, Charles Bane III, Kevin Sabo, Samuel Richardson, Thomas Delaney, Donna Napoli-Steele, Jenny Hata Blumenfield, Alberto Pazzi, Ahmer Farooq, Ray Gross, Galen Gibson-Cornell, Colin Roberts, and Carles García O'Dowd. The exhibition opens Friday, April 15th, with a public reception from 6-9 PM at the gallery. 

  • This examination of Surrealism approaches figuration and materials at the cutting-edge of contemporary art. Our current shared reality totes on the lines of absurdity, wherein we can all relate with the innate questioning of existence. The artists of this exhibition create work that exists in a universe adjacent to our own - so close - yet, through their materials and internal contradictions, they remain something distinctly otherworldly; surreal. This exhibition may not abide by the rules of the preconceived notions of Surrealism as described by André Breton; instead, the works speak to the powerful juxtapositions and organic thought processes inherent to a profoundly human approach to aesthetics. Surreal So Good embodies the original spirit of Surrealism—oppositional, radical, and revolutionary—which came about as a reaction to the cataclysm of the time.
