Modern Chinese Artists

Fantastical paintings from Chinese artist Fang He. I think I like Subway Underpass Bird best for its vague sense of creepiness, though Chinese Pavilion No. 1 appeals to my love of old time sci-fi illustrations. Check out similarly whimsical Zhang Gong's cute phallic creatures (NSFW), or peruse the large collection of artists at Courtyard-Gallery. (Related Chinese art posts here and here.)
Reminds me more of Yves Tanguy or Giorgio de Chirico

Nice stuff, lychee. Reminds me of a more cartoonish Remedios Varo.
In fact, it reminds me that I long ago thought of doing a Varo FPP. Now I will.
