SciFi and Fantasy Art Slipping through the Matrix by JV Different

This is pretty bizarre work- I'm hoping it gets in because I really love it and its comrades in crime. However I think it has a distinct fantasy flavour to it, even is it's obscure. This is one quarter of a body of work I did for my final year in high school. The running theme for them was dreams vs reality, and reality's true nature (Matrix influence anyone?). They were made to make people question what they experienced everyday, and what the very term 'real' meant. The figure falling through the grid of spheres (the spheres an idea inspired by Salvador Dali) is actually an artist's dummy (an idea inspired by surrealists like Man Ray). Both the dummy and spheres are actually 3d objects (the dummy was sculpted from tissue paper and glue, the spheres are polystyrene) stuck onto the canvas and painted over- the fact that they look flat and painted in is one of the several subtle illusions I incorporated into the works. The point of this work was really to 'suck in' the viewer into another realm- a realm where reality isn't what it seems... Hope you enjoy!
