Canadian artist Robert Gonsalves explores childlike stories of wonder through his surrealist paintings, capturing peeks of one’s internal daydreams through dual scene optical illusions.

‘1+1=1’

Resistant to the idea of putting the environment and familiar objects around him into a particular box, Denis Cherim walks towards his goal of appreciating the ‘un-apreciable’ around the world. With the simplicity of duplicating the same image and rotating it, this artist opens the doors to a quasi-surrealist landscape.

Surrealism Playing with Stereotypes

The art of collage plays since a long time with clichés, stereotypes, diverting them in a humorous way. The Belgian artist Sammy Slabbinck creates digital works and others handmade, cunningly and cleverly making fun of our society. Collages that sometimes hide an ideological message or simply come from an amusing inspiration.

Surrealist Sculptures of Plants and Animals Merged Together

Artist Ellen Jewett refers to her sculptural work as “natural history surrealist sculpture,” a blend of plants, animals, and occasionally human-made structures or objects. Her artwork is deeply informed by an extensive background in anthropology, medical illustration, exotic animal care, and even stop-motion animation, all of which accentuate the biological structure of each piece, while freeing her imagination to pursue more abstract ideas.
