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:   ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

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. ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |

Here is something out of the ordinary: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/british-artist-claims-been-visited-4880049" rel="nofollow - 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. ------------- "The past is not some static being, it is not a previous present, nor a present that has passed away; the past has its own dynamic being which is constantly renewed and renewing." - Claire Colebrook |
