For this week's blog we were required to choose five surreal artists and show a piece from each one. This is from an artist named Catrin Arno. A surreal artist from Germany. Something that I like about this piece is the fact that aside from a flying fish, the fish is substantially bigger than the whale. I also find it funny how the girl in the front is looking at a flying fish blimp sort of thing like it is not even out of the ordinary.

This image was made by the surreal artist Anton Semenov from Russia. Every piece he makes is supposed to be creepy. This one is meant to display the love people have for their parental figures regardless of how messed up they are. The flower on the top left is meant to show the sense of happiness and luck.

This piece was created by Sarolta Ban. She is a surreal artist from Hungary. A lot of her pieces are based on animals but especially dogs. This shows a reverse picture where the hats represent a swarm of crows and the bird represents the hat. Sarolta Ban originally started as a jeweler but then developed into a surreal graphic artist.

This image is from the surreal artist Suliman Al-Mawash from Kuwait. I found this piece interesting because it reminds me of the SAW movies. Most of her pieces involve some type of head gear. There's another one that I saw showing a rope going through a man's eyes. He also makes a lot of pieces showing animals in different habitats. There's one with a horse in a city, and one with and elephant on a beach.

This is from the surreal artist Wojciech Toast from Poland. Almost all his pieces show some type of body part being cut. There is also a common idea of the KKK being rebelled against and taken over. There's one I saw that had a person dressed like a KKK member being hanged by a person dressed like  a KKK member but dressed in black.

This image is a surreal piece from the famous one and only Salvador DalĂ­. This piece is a portrait of Abraham Lincoln when you look at it from a distance. If you look at it from close up. You see a picture of a woman looking out of a window. Dali made this piece after reading an article about the minimum amount of pixels it takes to create a portrait. He made this portrait of Lincoln while only using 121 pixels. Stay tuned for art every week now that school is back in session.
