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 Pop Surrealism Art of Stephen Gibb
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.

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.

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.
