Featured Neo Surrealist I: Denis Mezenzev (1967- Present)

Website

Denis Mezenzev, left, and Ernst Fuchs.

With overt influences such as Dali, De Chirico, and even Matta, Russian contemporary surrealist Denis Mezenzev is considered by many as an ideal representation of the surrealist mode within 21st century context. Much of Mezenzev's skill came naturally, and as a result, early works such as 'Still-Life with Skull,' produced in his first year of schooling, remain indicative of Mezenzev's talent level and vision. Recent exhibitions include The Ernst Fuchs Gallery in Vienna (2003), Riegersburgh (2004), and the Helena Roerich Art College (2006).
