However, I wouldn't call a photograph of some toffee apples Art so I couldn't really classify this as such, IMO...
Funnily enough I would consider it all art CGI or painted or drawn or photographed.Whether it would or should win the Turner Prize is another matter.

Re: Is it Art?

Glad to see you put your creative juices to work and put that 'other' problem behind you.

Keep it up.

H R Giger's work on the other hand I love, it's sureal but more than that it's a great piece of artwork.
Your drawing above strikes me like that, it's sureal, but that is secondary to it being a great piece of art.

Dali.How can his work be 'trying to to be surreal' when in fact he is one of the founders of the Surrealists?Dali is the epitome of Surrealism.

Agreed his work is hard to understand.I certainly don't understand half the symbols in his work and the titles of his work are confusing but as a man seeking to allow the access of his subconscious into his art I just give him the credit for succeeding spectacularly.

Thankfully I've never had dreams that resemble his work.

The real magic of the man was his ability to paint in the form of any genre of art movement of the 19/20 century.He certainly could paint a Monet copy.

Of the two I certainly think Giger is the truly disturbed if the images he produces do come from his subconscious.I certainly would hate to have his dreams. I am drawn to his work but I'm also repelled by it as well.
