Ian Hornak Quotes:
Ocupation: Artist
Life: January 9, 1944 - December 9, 2002
Birthday: January 9
Death: December 9
My idea of a perfect surrealist painting is one in which every detail is perfectly realistic, yet filled with a surrealistic, dreamlike mood. And the viewer himself can't understand why that mood exists, because there are no dripping watches or grotesque shapes as reference points. That is what I'm after: that mood which is apart from everyday life, the type of mood that one experiences at very special moments.
