Rene Magritte (1898 – 1967), Belgian surrealist painter in the early 20th century, was obsessed with ironic themes and hidden views. His witty paintings challenge how the viewers read images. Appropriating his pieces into the light of today, in the age of technology, I explore the same paradox he investigates between reality and illusion. I question the virtual versus the physical experience. Assuming that most of my viewers have a smartphone, or that the person next to them will, they can experience another dimension of Magritte’s work, right there or right HERE!
It’s Technically Magritte
