Pop Surrealism Art, pandemic, plague and Covid-19?
How does Pop Surrealism Art deal with Covid-19? The long history of art relating to plague can be traced from medieval times and the likes of Heironymous Bosch to the irreverent doodling of pop surrealism art After resisting the sort of automatic response that the year 2020 prompted—mainly as a result of the pandemic crisis […]
Contemporary Surrealism…
Contemporary Surrealism in today’s world Maybe it’s not even fair to call what I do Contemporary Surrealism or even Surreal Art. The presentation may make the viewer recall surrealism from their scant art history lessons in high school but the surreal art of scholarly examination relates to something from long ago and far away—produced under […]

Canadian painter Stephen Gibb makes simple observation
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
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 […]

Surreal art and the pervasive nature of phobias
