Abstract

Depaysement, which brought new stimulation and change to modern figurative art, is one of the many techniques of surrealism. The purpose of this study was to analyze and apply the characteristics of depaysement based on the visual effects of body expressions shown in the works of Rene Magritte to expand the artistic realm of body art illustration and to develop creative thinking and various techniques of expression. The characteristics of Rene Magritte`s body illustration are about separating certain parts of the body to express isolated worlds, replacing them with foreign objects to create new images, overlapping images to condense the body into one with the background, or creating a paradox by putting another object that cannot coexist with the body in the same canvas with the body. This study used the above results of analysis to discuss and apply the method of depaysement.
