Artist Creates Surreal Indoor Landscapes By Using Age-Old Technique

British artist Suzanne Moxhay creates surreal indoor landscapes. She provides unordinary views that look like from another world made through photomontage. Also, Moxhay uses an early 20th-century technique called matte painting.

By using traditional cut and paste collage, as well as digital manipulation, Moxhay brings viewers into a world that is slightly off. Small discrepancies betray the falsity of each landscape. “There are discrepancies in perspective; shadows falling in the wrong places,” the artist explains. “I was always interested in that effect in film, where you’d see the action take place in an environment that clearly wasn’t real.”
