| Ice Age Premonition |
George Grie was born May 14, 1962 and is a Russian-Canadian artist known for his outstanding digital surrealism artwork. George is known for his numerous amounts of 2D and 3D images as well as matte painting artwork. His detailed digital art captures dreamlike worlds, which he calls neosurrealism. This form of surrealism is a combination of dreams and fantasies he brings to life through composite images.
I think he composed this image by taking several images of clouds and water to create the background, used pictures of buildings and icebergs to create the basis of the foreground focal point, and then added little details like the stair case, cavern, and birds. These little details, in conjunction with how he changed the tones of the multiple images so the overall effect is very monochromatic, is what I think really makes the image so outstanding. His choice of of these dark blue and grey tones in his images bring a cold and mysterious feeling to the viewer. You could stare at a picture of an ice cube all day long and not have any chills but George's image makes an impact on his viewers through these somber, unworldly composite images. For those reasons I think his result is very pleasing.
