Oil on paper

Oil on paper is a technique that allows painters to use economical paper without needing to apply a primer before painting. Artists can combine oil paints with solvents to achieve effects similar to watercolor, such as color washes, spattering, and mingling of colors with thinned paint.

Matter painting

Matter painting is a technique that involves blending thick impasto paints with materials like cement, mud, sand, or shells. The term first emerged in the 1950s to describe the works of Belgian and Dutch painters who explored the physical properties of painting materials and the different ways paint could be manipulated. This approach emphasizes texture and the tactile qualities of the surface, creating a sculptural effect on the canvas.

Uncanny

The Uncanny is a concept described by psychologist Sigmund Freud as the eerie or unsettling feeling that arises when something familiar is presented in a strange or unfamiliar way. Surrealist artists, who aimed to reveal the subconscious and merge it with reality, often utilized this concept by combining familiar objects in unexpected and bizarre ways. This approach created a sense of discomfort or unease, challenging the viewer's perception of reality.
