Metarealism is a direction in Russian literature and art that was born in the 1870s to the 1880s. The notion of "metarealism" — (meta means "through") — is metaphysical realism, or the realism of the hyperphysical nature of things. The main expression of its essence is given with metabola (rather than hyperbole), which means "transfer" or "transition," opening many dimensions. Metabola is different from the symbol because it assumes the interosculation of realities. Metarealism has very little to do with Surrealism, since it appeals to the superconscious and not to the subconscious, thus opening up a many-dimensional perception of the world.
What is metarealism
Metarealism is synonymous to metaconscience, which means beyond psychological consciousness, beyond a subjective psychological polarized view of reality. Metarealism seeks to depict the reality which exist beyond that psychological subjective perspective. Metarealism proposes not only to communicate further than the pictorial aspect of the perception of other dimension of reality, but also the essence of those dimensions and their relation to us as human beings. Metarealism then becomes at tool for the evolution of consciousness; just like in the old day's artists painted sacred art to depict their vision of the reality they perceived, trough their spiritual interpretation of other dimensions. Metarealism could be considered a sacred art, in that it also tries to depict, trough a metaconscious perspective, the essence of reality as perceived by a metaconscious mind. Meta meaning, a holistic view of reality as perceived by a metaconscious mind, who sees reality as a whole rather than from a subjective personalized intellectually fragmented point of view. Metarealism is the materialization in pictorial form of the reality of other dimensions and their direct effect, and relation upon us. Metarealism tries to depict the relation’s between those dimensions of reality and how we psychologically interpret them trough our sub mental symbolism.
Involutionary art
Involutionary art expresses the dissimulated frustrations and struggle of the unconscious self in his search for real identity trough the euphoric, sub mental symbolism of the art form an avocation of the soul that has little in common with the interdimensional identity of the self.
Conscious or mental art is inspired from the higher self, and is a channel for the dictation of the conscious science of art, instead of being simply a lower form of self-expression, a cultural artifact of relative value.
The mental artist has little need for unconscious expression and directs his creative ‘‘expiration’’ toward the exploration of higher consciousness trough his art, rather than simply entertaining a fictitious role, in part to quell the domineering impulses of the soul, and in part for the recognition of his peers. Art in its astral form belongs to our kind of civilization. We still need its contention that there is more to reality than appears at first sight.
