I first though about cubism or surrealism as these are well known, but neither of them really spoke to me and i couldn't picture it my animation. After trolling through many books I saw an image done by Carlo Carrá. After researching further into his works i came across a movement called "METAPHYSICAL ART".
It is described as having sharp contrasts of light and shadow.
Tate Modern describes it as being "Dream-like views".
another definition is this:
"The artists thus created a visionary world of the mind, beyond physical reality"

Below are some examples of Carlo Carrá's work:

Also here are some form Giorgio de Chirico:
I also quite like the simplistic ideas of Joan Miro, the few colours used and flat shapes. The colourfulness wouldn't work for my piece but the ideas are good:
Books used:
- Cubism and twentieth-century by Thames and Hudson
- History of modern art by H.H.Arnason
- Surrealism desire unbound by Jennifer Mundy
