Abstract

The desecration of nature and its incapacity lead to the creation of new forms and subjects unparalleled in the natural world. We must establish a close connection between myths, ideas, dreams, self-restraint, and conceptions of unrealistic art when addressing new shapes and methods. The artist, through their vision, engages with these artistic elements in their work, regardless of output style. Unrealism in visual art refers to a detachment from visual reality and a departure from convention, embodying the strange by restructuring elements of visual reality into forms completely different from their origins. These outputs align with the concept of plastic art in terms of visual language. This unrealistic technique continues to evolve today. In 1988, the first document of the deconstruction movement emerged in New York, asserting that creativity relies on a new contemporary aesthetic that calls for reassessment of human relationships with the world and environment. This marks a separation from the past and a denial of traditional values, propelling artists into new realms, similar to calligraphy and Arab art expressing infinity and continuity. Unrealistic art represents a revolution against romantic and classical norms. Surrealism introduces new techniques, styles, and choices that abstract synonyms, provoking a subconscious response. People often seek symbolism in artworks, especially when struggling to understand meaningful relationships or derive satisfaction from creative expression. Unrealistic art embodies mental expressions in both appearance and function. Artistic expression can be categorized into two approaches: realistic and unrealistic or mythical, each with its own nuances. Both represent ideas and feelings that form the core of human experience and require a high level of visual literacy and cultural knowledge to enhance artistic content and foster creative values. The unreal artist, emerging from their imagination, deliberately engages with subjects while seeking new, pleasing, and self-satisfying forms. This quest is reflected in various modern techniques and art movements, as well as in ancient arts such as abstractionism, symbolism, Dadaism, and surrealism, all explored in this research. While varying in philosophy, these styles maintain similarities in their visual aspects. Throughout history, these artistic methods have symbolized a desire to transcend reality and enter a dreamlike realm. The need to uncover the mysteries of nature, the desire for self-esteem and protection, the longing for beauty, and the desire for rebirth, growth, and change have driven humanity to create fictional, unreal art. Examples like the Sphinx and the Winged Bull in ancient Egyptian civilization and Mesopotamia serve as evidence of this enduring artistic impulse.
