Attila József, the great Hungarian poet, writes in his poem
`Welcome to Thomas Mann` (1937)

"... You know this well: the poet never lies,
The real is not enough; through its disguise
Tell us the truth which fills the mind with light
Because, without each other, all is night. ...


His words inspire the style, called Transrealism. Transrealism (meaning "beyond what is real") shows the actuality beyond the physical reality.

In Transrealism, style can not be binding to express the essential reality. Hence comes the mixing of styles, even within the same one artwork, for a style in itself have a force of expression and serve as a tool of communication.

Man must be addressed so as to communicate to one, and to gain one's willingness to listen to the message one needs aesthetics. There is no shadow without light and no light without a shadow. Here aesthetics is light and shadow is the lack of such. Aesthetics can not be exiled but our message can not be flooded with it either because if a piece of art does not include both "light" and "shadow" then the potential in life fades away and the message becomes shallow.

Transrealism is the art of the 21st century fulfilling the long awaited return to the basics: art is communication, and it shall be understandable by the observer; it shall not expect the audience to be sophisticated or educated in the subject. Instead it is the artist's responsibility to be versed enough in their profession and their tools of art to be able to express themselves to convey a message and be universally understood.

Many consider forms of Transrealism in various forms of art like the music of the popular Dead Can Dance, the original paintings of Zsuzsa Mathe, or in film ones like 'Brazil' directed by Terry Gilliam, to name a few

What is transrealism?

Transrealism is a branch of visual art exposing that which is over realism, appealing to one's own perception of the truth over adherence to the actual fact; transrealism is the poetry of visual arts. The ars poetica of transrealism was created by the well known 20th century Hungarian poet, Attila József in his 1937 poem Welcome to Thomas Mann: "You know this well: the poet never lies,The real is not enough; through its disguiseTell us the truth which fills the mind with lightBecause, without each other, all is night."Transrealism first appeared in the visual arts during the early 1980ies through the works of painter Zsuzsa Mathe; but many of its applications can be found in film (like Terry Gilliam's Brazil (1985) and photography as well.Transrealism is not a simple technique of using the brush, like pointillism, neither is it a singular expression of style, like cubism, or impressionism. Transrealism is the common denominator of those pieces of art that effectively communicate that which we all know is true. It integrates any stylistic element and technique to communicate the perceived truth, the intended content.As stated in its ars poetica, to understand a transrealist artwork one does not need to be an expert in various styles of art. It is the art of the 21st century fulfilling the long awaited return to the basics: art is communication, and it shall be understandable by the observer; it shall not expect the audience to be sophisticated or educated in the subject. Instead it is the artist`s responsibility to be versed enough in their profession and their tools of art to be able to express themselves to convey a message and be universally understood.
