Whats the name of this type of art called?
I wish i knew what the name of this kind of art is called, but unfortunately i dont. Ive heard of the term "abstract art" before, but i got a feeling that it does not apply to this kind of art.
This type of art is often used for front cover sleaves of albums made by progressive rock bands and progressive metal bands, ill give you some examples:-
Imagine a photo or picture.......of a man sitting in an arm chair, and he is looking towards a television set, that is placed upon a coffee table. But, the man and the arm chair and the tv set and coffee table are not inside a house, they are right in the middle of some moorland wilderness where you can even see big hills or mountins in the background. I dont know if abstract is the word to describe it, but "paradox" for sure. Cause why would a man relax in an arm chair watching tv in the middle of nowhere?, where would the electricity come from to power the tv for a start?.
Heres another exmaple, imagine a photo or picture....... an old railway bridge made of old stone, and its tall and it has archways underneath it. The bridge goes across a very large lake. There is an old steam train ontop of the bridge with steam coming out of it (so obviously the train is in motion). But....the bridge comes to two broken ends at each end, meaning if the train carrys on going forwards, it will just fall off the bridge and into the lake below. Why would someone even bother going to all that trouble to put a train ontop of a bridge that couldent go anywhere?.
