Glad to do it. This is about the coolest thread on the whole site.

I just deleted the painting I posted in the bump because I looked back at everything and saw that I posted it twice. Woops.

Though I like all surreal paintings, one that stood out for me was one of the classic Salvador Dali.

Though paintings rarely make me feel a certain way, this one did. It somehow made me feel a bit anxious. Like the nervous tickles you get in your stomach sometimes, with a slight feel of creepiness.

It's called "Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory"

I absolutely LOVE Yerka he is my favorite artist, I have a couple of his books. Check this place out, it is a site dedicated to up and coming artists and old ones too. morpheusgallery.com Here are a few of my favorite ones though not all Yerka, it would be impossible for me to post all of my favorites since I have a huge folder pertaining just to Surreal Art.

I love that Rob Gonsalves painting on the far right. He is one of the modern surrealists, and he has a unique and really brilliant style.

That picture absolutely captures the essence of dreaming.


Win.

You all fail. Salvador Dali is the one and only true Surrealist. Proof, you say?

Look how people copy him.
