What we call strange Art is known as Surrealism. In our modern lexicon, 'surreal' is often equated with 'Weird.' But let's not forget,’ Weird' can be a wonderful thing.
Surrealism is a form of expression that surpasses realism. Think of Salvador Dali's melting clocks or René Magritte's bowler-hatted men floating in the sky. These classic examples of Surrealist art challenge our perceptions of reality and invite us to explore the depths of our subconscious.m

The true power of art lies in its ability to infuse our lives with meaning and provide a lens through which we can better understand our world.
Art can delve deep into our souls and connect our innermost thoughts, feelings, and perceptions with the world's reality and experiences.
Engaging with a compelling work of art can connect with our senses, body, and mind, resulting in a profound personal experience. Art can help us understand who we are and enrich our lives through self-expression.
“No One Remembers Your Name When You’re Strange.”
Another Thought
”Doctors and lawyers have a practice, artists have a life.”
Does our perception of art communicate reality or just what we think the truth is? Are our emotions telling us what we see, or are they being told what to feel by what we see?
We express ourselves with the tools we have, and words, feelings, and eyes serve us well in that regard, but do our emotions and feelings convey accurate perceptions.
Art can be in various forms, shapes, colors, and textures, but the meaning will differ depending on what the viewer knows. Can the importance of art be the same for two people?
If the meaning isn’t clear or weak, the images may lack the needed complexity. Graffiti qualifies as art, but some disagree, and some feel it is only a cynical attempt at art, saying, “If art were a positive agent of change, the graffiti, being everywhere, would have made a better society for all. Of us.”
Isn’t the question really what is better, not what is art? Graffiti, a form of visual communication, usually illegal, involves an individual or group's unauthorized marking of public space.
