Is James Jean a Surrealist artist?

1 Answer
Is James Jean a Surrealist artist?
No, James Jean is not a Surrealist artist. Technically, the term Surrealism refers to an art movement that lasted from the early 1920s through the 1960s. As Jean is a contemporary artist, he would not truly be a Surrealist. However, his pieces do have a dream-like quality reminiscent of Surrealist paintings and illustrations.
