I enjoyed listening to the podcast while in the studio. Respectfully I have to say that the term “Disrupted Realism” comes off as a bit of an oxymoron, perhaps the remnant response to the exessive influence of subjectivity stemming from modernism.
Art has always been a compromise, a concession between the polarities of realty and abstraction, empirical reality and inner vision. The best realism is that which is most abstract in its inner form and the best abstraction is that which has an undelying empirical structure. Neither disrupt but rather confirm, great art wether realist or abstract, do not “disrupt” (only so from the sociological viewpoint) pictorially great art always aims at synthesis, bringing order to the chaos within and without.
