Exploring Surrealism in Art

This month we turn our attention to exploring Surrealism in art.  In-house art historian Julie Chun will provide an introductory lecture on the art historical significance of Surrealism and explain how it contrasts with Dada. Then the platform will be turned over to Nial O’Connor, an Australian illustrator working and residing in Shanghai.  He will discuss how his art explores contemporary surrealism through urbanism in China. Featuring subjectivity and a rejection of normality, it is China as we have never seen it before. Priority will be given to RAS members
