Glenn Brown
Brown has a very bizarre technique with painting. He takes the art of other people, makes a near identical copy of it, then paints over it adding his own color combinations and other details.

Jean Louis Ricaud
The bronze sculptures of this French artist appear both organic and mechanical. The woman in these works are pregnant with nightmarishly mutated and enlarged stomachs.

Arik Brauer
The paintings of Brauer are filled with brilliant colors and incredibly strange spaces. People interact in alien worlds where surreal devices and structures are everywhere. Be sure to fully explore Brauer's official website as there are album covers in his music section, there are small black and white examples of his art that don't appear to be in the gallery. This is unfortunate as many of these appear to be some of his best work.

Jim Stoten
Here is a great artist from the UK who is clearly influened by the artwork from the Beetles "Yellow Submarine" and has gone in his own surreal direction with it. There are a lot of colorful and deranged looking characters hanging about Stoten's imagery. You can read all of Stoten's comic "The Diamond" here and purchase it here.
