Froze—by Canadian artist Stephen Gibb, 36″ x 36″, oil on panel, 2020

FROZE by Canadian painter Stephen Gibb

The fragile balance of life is often illuminated by taking an alternate perspective, and just as often it is obscured by ambiguity.

Canadian Pop Surrealism Art of Stephen Gibb

By Stephen Gibb | Published: 07/05/2020
Canadian Pop Surrealism Art — The Allegory of the Baked Potato Apocalypse The painting personifies potatoes and examines them in their natural “potato environment” to reveal subtle aspects of human nature and behaviour in a fun and absurdly roundabout way. Starting at the top, the central image of the baked potato radiates like some kind […]

Canadian painter Stephen Gibb makes simple observation

By Stephen Gibb | Published: 20/03/2020
Froze—by Canadian painter Stephen Gibb, 36″ x 36″, oil on panel, 2020 FROZE by Canadian painter Stephen Gibb The balance between survival and our relation with the environment is a give and take negotiation at its simplest state. Depletion, plunder and by-products that result from our “processing” of resources are ways in which we impact […]

Surrealism famous for stimulating creativity

By Stephen Gibb | Published: 06/03/2020
Surrealism Famous For Stimulating Creativity Creativity sometimes just comes to you and you can only surmise in hindsight as to the possible origins. Where does a cherry-chocolate god figure come from? It’s funny, bizarre, and unexpected but may be more logical than you think. The vengeful god in the clouds is nothing new and most […]

Surrealism painting addresses PC absurdities

By Stephen Gibb | Published: 24/01/2020
Surrealism painting * “Keeping it Together, Walking on Eggshells” — Surrealism painting by Stephen Gibb, 36″ x 24″, oil on panel, 2019 I imagine a world where the visually rich language of fairy tales and nursery rhymes extends into adulthood. The traditional nature of this kind storytelling is best presented with visual aids; simple, straightforward […]

Surreal art and the pervasive nature of phobias

By Stephen Gibb | Published: 23/01/2020
Surreal art and Phobias While pondering a fun house setting for a painting, I became aware that the whole reason for a fun house is to artificially induce fear in the patron. It became clear that fear or phobias would then become the central theme to the painting. Taking a smattering of common phobias and […]

Pop Surrealism and Lowbrow

By Stephen Gibb | Published: 27/09/2019
Pop Surrealism and Lowbrow Pop Surrealism has a broad range of influences, a reverence for art history, an unsettling presence and a wicked sense of humour. One thing that unites the pop surrealist community is their comfortable and insatiable relationship with weirdness. If describing in words what is and what isn’t pop surrealism, one only […]

Crazy art, surrealism or metarealism?

By Stephen Gibb | Published: 16/04/2019
It’s all crazy art, isn’t it? What is “crazy art” aside from a naïve label, probably bestowed by a sincere art outsider? It is forgivable when “crazy art” is used as the layman’s password into the realm of exploration¬—like initiating a web search. Hopefully this kind of low target search may lead them to a […]
