Reveals the contemporary art phenomenon of disrupted realism through the paintings of 43 artists at its core.

Profoundly shaped by the events, forces, and overflow of today''s disjointed, social-media-heavy life, these artists'' paintings are “disrupted” stylistically, thematically, or sometimes both.

They allow us to appreciate how art relates to the "super-fast, simultaneous, almost dizzyingly paced scrolling" of our lives.
