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 Hieronymus 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 […]
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.

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
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.

Surreal art and the pervasive nature of phobias

Surrealism Art: A peeling label on an empty container
Surreal. Surrealist. Surrealism art (whatever that is…?). Words that follow me around like wilful shadows, playfully darting about in the periphery of my mind’s eye.
