Oleh Denysenko
The detailed etchings of Oleh contain figures wearing very fantastic armor. Much of the armor has fragments of architecture, making some of the figures appear as much like surreal buildings as people. On the second page of the gallery there is a smaller selection of sculptures made by the artist, all equally as unusual as his etchings.

You will find another work by Oleh in the top right image of this gallery.

Roberto Matta
One of my favorite artists, Matta's paintings are jammed full of insane fragmented architecture and landscapes. Human like characters are abstracted to the point of resembling their machinery and architecture like surroundings. This is one of the best online resources for an artist. There are over 1,000 images, all of them in great quality.

Andrzej Masianis
Here are many incredibly detailed drawings and paintings exploring fantastic realms filled with angels and monsters.

Harry Clarke

















I discovered the illustrations of Clarke in my teens within a copy of Edgar Allen Poe's "Tales of Mystery and Imagination". His Art Nouveau style with the skeletal figures and strikingly bizarre creatures have stayed in my head ever since.

I came across the above image here. If anyone knows where I could find more examples by this artist or even their name, please tell me, thanks!
