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.
