Surreal.

I have been really into pop surrealism art lately.  I'm loving artist Mark Ryden's epic collection of woodlands to butcheries. I think pop surrealism doesn't receive the recognition it deserves.We are all so blinded by what is common, and forget about the local artistry and how much talent really lies here among us.  I can admire Van Gogh's Sunflowers, but when I admire Mark's painting of  The Ox Suckling Romulus and Remus, there is no guesswork involved.  They tell their own stories.  We need more artists like him to make us bare witness to the erie and unknown.  Out of our comfort zone, and into the twilight zone! Check out his art sitehttp://www.markryden.com/ .  Also check out local artist Ray Caesar, from Toronto who is another fellow pop surrealism artist.http://www.raycaesar.com/.
