Surrealism is about putting recognisable objects into unreal situations
The objects or shapes can be distorted and in impossible colours. The result is a truly different kind of painting. The emotion in the painting is one of disquiet, amusement and thoughtfulness.
These surrea lpaintings by the artist have individuality to fire your imagination. You can see the world like never before - take journey of mystery and excitement.
You may notice the influence of geometric art
Geometry is an approach I am drawn to as it enhances what I am trying to say. The sharp angles and the geometric shapes take you into the art, they can provide areas of unpredictability and also provide resting points. Surreal structures somehow just emerge without pushing, the combination of geometry and surrealism is to me amazing, I just love it!
All unique work - guaranteed no copies!

Surreal paintings for sale inspired by a visit to a gallery.
It was empty and quiet but resonated something I have attempted to capture in these two paintings. Is it quiet solitude or perhaps cold emptiness - you probably see something quite different. I love minimalism as well as surrealism and these paintings could be described as minimal but to be honest does it matter?

Surrealism lets your mind run wild.
I never intended to paint these three exactly as they turned out. At times the brush seems to find its own way I just hold it!d in space. They have been exhibited with The Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour as part of their annual open.

Genuine original art.
Every piece is from my collection of original abstract paintings painted by me to hopefully please you.
These two surreal paintings are clearly of the female figure, perhaps a celebration of some kind, joy for certain I think.

Surreal paintings about polluting our planet.
Surrealism is so right for the subject of pollution. The agony of the planet and the wanton destruction would be surreal if it was not so tragic. A painting can express horror and disgust from viewing it for just a few seconds, I want people to see how I feel about polluting our planet hence these paintings. The slider below will show you those I have done so far.
Why paint surrealism
I can only speak about one artist me... I found myself creating surreal paintings with no intent to do so - it just happened. Once I started I could not stop. I became intrigued by imagining a real situation and moving it to a surreal one - symbols became a large part of my painting language together with earlier favourites such as geometric and minimalism.
There are many examples of surrealism, I would call mine mild surrealism as I do not deform shapes for the sake of it I am concerned about the "content" - the message I am not interested in whimsy.
My goal
My only goal when painting is to put an overwhelming emotion in the artwork, that is my content. Others seek to create something they see I endeavour to create how I feel about something. I am not alone of course and the list starts with Rothko who could stir feelings just by colour. My blog post Getting Emotion into a Paintings expands on this point and I teach it too - Get Heart Into Your Art is my title for personal lessons.
