Still Awake. Did some browsing and voila! I found another surrealist.
This artist paints robots, but in a different way (of course otherwise nobody would care). His robots seem incredibly romantic. I'm pretty sure they intentionally reference the classical ideal of the human figure. Also, the muted colors remind me of the marble in so many classical and neo-classical sculpture.So, these robots look perfect like Michelangelo's "David", but they have very intricate webs of wires or metal sculptures coming out of and supporting them. It reminds me of the old Star Wars, but without that feeling that the computer graphics were cutting edge twenty years ago. These are just breathtakingly beautiful. Nothing seems corny about them.
The robots are not the only things that he paints.He also paints some weird landscapes. They remind me of Dali. They have mostly normal desert landscape elements with weird land forms. The land forms evolve into geometric shapes which don't fit the semi-natural looking landscape at all, and it all comes out looking otherworldly, but fantastically interesting.
He's great! Probably another favorite. Look him up!
