IS pop surrealism or pop art considered to be fine art?

Question

I am a16 year old aspiring artists and i love pop art espicially those of mark ryden.I recently read a article about how pop surrealism isn't recognizzed b the art world and major galleries. I enjoy creating pop art but i Am also talented at hyper realism and realism art, such as portraits,landscapes, and still life's. would i be more successful sticking to the realism genre?Is pop art getting more popular?Do you consider pop art to be afine art?i know i have alot of questions.just curious.

Answer 1

pop art is certainly a fine art (remember andy warhol).

i studied 3 years at an art college, and my recommendation for you is to do what you love, and if it isn't recognized by the "art world" make it! show them how it's "art" and challenge them to open their minds...that is after all what art is, opening your mind to possibilities.

good luck:)
