'Almost a century after the writing of its first manifesto, Contemporary Surrealism continues to amaze us.
Honoring Magritte, Breton, and Dalí, the current Surrealists explore in their turn dreams and society.
As a true bridge between the dream world, the unconscious and the political struggle, Surrealism transports us.
Today it is celebrated through photography, painting and sculpture, offering us an eccentric and mysterious world. Ready to enter this enchanting universe? Artsper presents five contemporary surrealist artists to discover!

Marian Williams, contemporary surrealism and political claims.
Surrealist collagist Marian Williams uses photographs and magazine illustrations to divert contemporary symbols.
As a feminist artist, she defends the environment, women’s rights and fights for social justice. It is through a protean approach that Marian Williams questions our society by arousing astonishment, by proposing unexpected representations.
Her work questions our beliefs and prejudices in order to develop a freer and more independent way of thinking.'
