History has a way to repeat itself, art as well. I am always fascinated by art and how artists depict issues that affect them direct or indirect in their art piece. Art always reflects social, economic and religious issues as they happen.
Brian Kirhagis is one of many painters who create works of art that are
similar to the great surrealist artist known as Salvo Dali. The surrealism movement
had a distinct way of approach when creating artworks, one was melting subject
matter into more dream like scenarios.
Kirhagis will be exploring Salvo Dali’s collection of artworks in his up
and coming exhibition “BK x Dali”. He has created a life size painting similar
to “the persistence of memory” by Dali. The original piece depicts soft watches are subconscious
symbols of the relatively of space and time. Kirhagis has place some twist in
this one buy modernising it with digital technology. He has positioned
technology devices such as an I-phone, graffiti art, street light and cityscape as
his subject matter which is quite interesting. The original painting talks
about time and I think that even this one by Kirhagis perfectly reiterates the
artwork that inspired it. The Digital era is our form of art and innovation
too, but it is derived from our historical inventions it can be anything that you can think of.
Do you see collations between the two piece?

Yes I do see the similarities between the two and I think its cool that Brian Kirhagis is paying homage to Salvo Dali with his artworks. Really cool idea I think.
