Exercise 6: Visual distortion

 

I started with this rough drawing of cat.

 

It was really interesting exercise that forced me to play with such different objects, textures, prints producing some interesting, awkward, humorous and bizarre combinations. When I was playing I wasn’t so concerned about meaning so I wasn’t aiming for some message. I just wanted to combine things that have never came to my mind as something that could function together.  Research I made and this fantastic book  about Surrealism were of great help in terms of better understanding this kind of art.  I finished this exercise through drawing where I portrayed edited version of  my collage.  I also introduced a brain in a form of served roasted chicken on a table since my cat reminds me on nowadays modern trend which forces us to put away our brains and to celebrate vulgarity.
