Animals and plants—or nature in general—have always been a huge inspiration to many artists across the world. But have any of us ever tried to imagine what these subjects would look like when combined? Well, a creative French agency called Les Creatonautes has been quite busy doing just that. This past year they have created a series of digital collages that combine sporting goods, animals, and edible objects all into one, and here’s the result.
Japanese artist Naoto Hattori imagines small fluffy animals with healthy doses of fantasy and some unnatural hybridization. The painted creatures often feature round heads and disproportionately large and reflective eyes. Cat-birds with mushrooms growing on their furry heads and other mashup beasts toe the line between whimsical and eerie thanks to large eyes that reveal unseen forests and landscapes. These acrylic paintings are small, typically measuring less than 3 inches by 3 inches when unframed. More
“Nature is already insanely diverse and surreal, so it was a natural course for me to create my own creatures, imagining the boundless magic of the natural world.”
Salvador Dali is the king of dystopian landscapes, creating elaborate worlds with nothing but paint and a canvas. Well, thanks to photoshop new artists have a unique tool to experiment with surrealism. Polish-born artist Mirek is one such artist who is using his 10 years of experience with the editing software to create one-of-a-kind images.
In Chris Austin's surreal paintings, the overlooked giants of the ocean make their way across landscapes and suburban settings. His recent show with Antler Gallery, titled “Unfamiliar,” offered new work from the artist, who often focuses on the elegance and plight of nature and its inhabitants.
I would enjoy reading the journey the artist took into surrealism, to come up with these concepts, as much as I love the finish animal pieces. Dutch artist Redmer Hoekstra, is one of those illustrators that exercise the brain as well as the eyes, when you look at his works. We have been following this talented artist for years, here at DesignStack. Every time we go to his site; he does not disappoint, with amazing and extravagant drawings. As well as spending time to produce the piece of art, he has to come up with a concept that makes sense to him and tells a story. That is why his drawings can take between 32 to 40 hours to complete. I will now leave the final words of this post, to a quote, found on Hoekstra's site: "I play with form, meaning and function, while new combinations arise." The Rhino and the Dodo.

Imagine a world where your dreams and the way they distort reality can be reproduced on canvas, paper or some other material on which artists paint. Doesn’t that sound amazing? Well, if you are the type to let your imagination take over and rule over your interest in the world of art, then you will like it surrealism and the paintings that are inspired by it. The thing about surrealism is that it strives to represent the images of the unconscious mind making it very bizarre albeit fascinating to look at. In fact, taking a teenager to look at surrealistic art is the best way on how to involve teenagers in art projects.
The troupe of wild animals in Bruno Pontiroli’s paintings contort their bodies into backbends and handstands that would rival even the most accomplished gymnast. A wrinkly hippo balances on its tongue, a tiger arches its torso into a 90-degree angle, and a hyena rotates its hind legs in the air. The French artist (previously) notes that he begins the bizarre artworks with easily-recognized animals that he then shapes “like the way a child plays with modeling clay or a building set for instance,” morphing a simple depiction of a nimble lion or hare into a peculiar new reality.

From the spiky, reptilian scales of a dragon to the feathery wings of a phoenix, animals have always been a popular choice for tattoos. But there’s more to them than just a pretty design.

I have been collecting photographs for over a decade. It is a long process of combining carefully selected photography fragments and illustrated parts, which are then transferred to computer and digitally painted. It covers different aspects of life, changes, challenges, as well as human nature, but expressed as a long and unpredictable journey through some distant worlds. It is a reflection of current experiences, relationships...of conscious and intentional, but also of dreams and unconscious reactions to our surroundings and present state of mind. It is mostly conceptual and symbolic and reflects inner observations, presented through fantasy stories. However, on the other side, it also shows a path to some distant part of ourselves, the one of a child, which sometimes is unfortunately very much forgotten. Sometimes it is dark, gloomy, and crumbling, while on the other side it is energetic and hopeful, even humorous.

Photos of or world which, with the assistance of Photo Manipulation, are made into a world of surrealism. French Graphic Designer Natacha Einat, uses software, the same way a magician performs a magic act. Both have in common, a great reveal and a gobsmacked audience, that is trying to figure out what is going on and how the trick was achieved. The moon is very prevalent in photo manipulation, this is probably because it is the closest object in space to us. It has been a continued source of fascination and mystery, that has entertained humans, since they first looked up and wandered, what they were looking at. Moon Dust. Press the Image to Enlarge it.

In Ted Chin’s surreal dreamland, it’s not uncommon to see massive anglerfish swimming through the sky or a figure scooping up shooting stars. The San Francisco-based artist merges idyllic landscapes and outdoor scenes with fantastical details, choosing to upturn an evergreen in mid-air or position an oversized octopus underneath a floating house. Simultaneously uncanny and calming, the composites are eye-catching and rooted in imagination. “There are things in the world that inspire childlike wonder and awe, and it is my passion to recreate and share them with the world,” the artist says.

I’m Justin Peters, a digital artist from Germany, my work is motivated by the desire to open other people's minds to help them discover their own internal landscape of possibilities or impossibilities. I hope that the viewer perceives a new and different world, one which they can dive into to prove that everything is possible when you open your mind.

“The goal with my art is not only to bring a little smile to the observer’s face and create a good feeling, but also make them stop and think for a moment about some of the things that is happening on, and to, our planet.”
I’m very interested in the language of dreams. I rarely paint pictures straight from my dreams but the logic and poetic language of dreams is really the basis for my paintings.

Surrealism—which came to prominence in the 1920s—was a cultural movement not only confined to the world of art, but also characterizing literature, music, theatre, and philosophy.
Casey Weldon crafts surreal, sometimes absurd paintings that play with the everyday and the otherworldly alike. The artist, based in Washington, D.C., is featured in a new show at Thinkspace Gallery in Los Angeles. “Sentimental Deprivation” continues the thread of that duality in the artist’s work. The show starts June 3 and runs through June 24.
