Salvador Dalí passed away on January 23, 1989, less than six months before the series premiere of Seinfeld. Since the Spanish surrealist never got the chance to re-envision the legendary sitcom through his paintings, digital artist John Coen has taken up the title of “Surrealfeld” and delivered to the art world the works that fate robbed them of when it took the life of Dalí before he had the chance to witness Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld’s master work.
Surrealfeld is one of the most unique, ambitious, and expertly executed fan art projects that we have ever seen. Coen, a devoted Seinfeld superfan, has been using A.I. to create two pieces of surreal Seinfeld art every day for almost three months now. These works draw inspiration from the masters of the genre, emulating Dalí, René Magritte and Frida Kahlo in inspired fever dreams that show Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer in lights that only the most courageous of minds, both living and artificial, could imagine.
