Jan Lenica
Apart from making the trademark bizarre Polish posters, Lenica made several animated short films. With these he collaborated with stop motion animator/strange erotic film director Walerian Borowczyk. You can find out more about their animated collaborations here.

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.

J. J. Grandville
A few weeks back I found this image and was curious who made it. Having found out it was by J.J Grandville, I've since discovered many other strange and surreal works by him. According to one website he is apparently known as "the Father of Surrealism". I guess that would make Hieronymus Bosch the grandfather? Anyway, to find out more about this French caricaturist from the 1800's, click here.

Peter Klucik
One of the most interesting artists I've discovered this year, Klucik has made a wide selection of imagery exploring many strange beasts. His unpublished illustrations for J.R.R Tolkien's "The Hobbit" are filled with incredible details of this strange fantasy world and all the unusual monsters and weird characters who inhabit it.

Shen Shaomin
I recently stumbled across this amazing artist of bizarre imaginary monster skeletons. Although there isn't a real website dedicated to this artist, which is a real shame, I have been able to find a few pages that have some of his art on display.
This page seems to have the best selection of his work.
This page has links to some video footage taken of Shaomin's sculptures. The camera moves around the works so you get a great perspective on what these actually look like.
Suzanne from Wurzeltod has taken some good pictures of a collection of Shaomin's work that was on display.

Many vastly intricate drawings of Lovecraftian environments and large surreal portraits. Be sure to check out this collaborative drawing series titled "Novus Natura". Really insanely detailed pen drawings of strange worlds.
