Here is something out of the ordinary: Paintings made by a UFO contactee about his experiences. It kind of reminds me of Alex Grey's DMT-influenced psychedelic paintings, which I think underscores the similarities between the alien contact experience and the vision quests common to many pantheistic religions.

I seriously need to explore Eastern European surrealism beyond that Zdsislaw Beksinski fellow. Seems to embody a peculiarly Slavic species of grotesquery I can also recognize from Nikolai Gogol and Franz Kafka, as well as some of Roman Polanski and Krzysztof Kieslowski's movies.

A bit late to the party (as per usual), but this is branching of art that really connects with me. It's like a David Lynch movie or weird dreams relegated through a painting or a piece of handcarved stone. I really dig when the unorthodox and strange facets of our mind are running the engine room, in all art actually films, books, paintings, music etc etc.
I have loads of faves, so I won't bother you with all of them, but I'll post the ones that instantly sprang to mind when I read the OP:

Max Ernst (big surprise!):

Then, of course, the wonderful stylings of British born Mexican surrealist Leonora Carrington from my avatar:

Vladimir Kush:

Julio Cesar Rodriguez

Mélanie Authier:

Igor Morski:

Yacek Yerka:

Remedios Varo:

Yuri Tsvetaev:
