By Stephen Gibb | Published: 26/01/2022
What Goes On (In My Mind)…aimless meander The Aimless Meander: The creative process involved in composing Dr. Daydream Prescribes Aggressive Psychotherapy Meditating on the concept of daydreaming conjures all kinds of stereotypes, mostly those perpetuated by pop culture and the associated canon of symbols established by TV, music, movies, and comics. A reclined child staring […]

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

By Stephen Gibb | Published: 07/05/2020
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. Starting at the top, the central image of the baked potato radiates like some kind […]

Surrealism famous for stimulating creativity

By Stephen Gibb | Published: 06/03/2020
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 […]

Surrealism and Happiness – Do they go together?

By Stephen Gibb | Published: 27/01/2020
Surrealism has many faces with Canadian artist Stephen Gibb “Happy!” — Stephen Gibb, 36″ x 24″, oil on panel, 2020 The idea behind this painting was to portray sheer joy and happiness sloughing off the evil and darkness of the world like a snake sheds its skin. However, I wanted to depict the happiness in […]

Surrealism painting addresses PC absurdities

By Stephen Gibb | Published: 24/01/2020
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. The traditional nature of this kind storytelling is best presented with visual aids; simple, straightforward […]

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 […]
