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 […]

Surrealism Art: A peeling label on an empty container

By Stephen Gibb | Published: 20/01/2020
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. Until something better comes along I guess I will reluctantly tolerate them (even if “surrealism art” makes me grind my teeth). I won’t let them define me but I will […]

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 […]

Lowbrow pop surrealism

By Stephen Gibb | Published: 13/08/2019

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 […]

Contemporary Art and the Death of Contemplation

By Stephen Gibb | Published: 14/03/2019
Contemporary art has been hit hard by our inability to focus, meditate or even take five minutes alone with a painting. With my painting Death of Contemplation, the title comes from my lament for a time before incessant distraction. When you could fall into a deep, thoughtful meditation and slowly mull over an idea until […]

Canadian surrealist painter looks at the mind

By Stephen Gibb | Published: 21/11/2018
Canadian surrealist painter Stephen Gibb takes a mind-bending look at contemporary art, pop culture and social commentary with his painting You Are Out Of Your Mind! Playing with “mind” idioms is one way to blow your mind. Another is to examine the world through your mind’s eye. If you could read my mind you could […]
