Marilyn Holsing, I think, fits this bill, too.

God forbid artists actually make it easy to buy their paintings via the web. What's up with that? They don't want to sell their paintings?

Seems like Zademack is trying to be to hard to be a reincarnated Salvidor Dali. But other then that his stuff is pretty cool.

Green was the best. Her stuff was obviously surrealist inspired (I love her painting of Dali) but it's very much her own direction.

eh.

Then again, mine isn't even surrealist (yet?).

"Strange" how? They all look like cookie-cutter 20th Century anti-art to me. Boring.

The first-born Eva, our alleged ancestor.

Adam is always described as a personality,

while Eva's contribution is always reduced to a vaginal opening.

Why?

Note: the fish is a classical phallic symbol.


My favourite part about Jade Christina Green's work was that she actually pointed out the obvious and clicheed symbolism in her clicheed and obviously symbolic work.

It was like getting the Cole's Notes for an Archie comic.

Well, heck, I just don't really like any of these artists! And I really wanted to find something I liked...

Oh, wait, I found one. It's this one.

Hee!

Green and Zademack are just embarrasingly bad, especially the latter - his reproduction of tropes from Dali's work shows a complete misunderstanding of Surrealism. Unless, you know, his 'unconscious mind' is coincidentally exactly the same as Dali's.

Zalibarek has his moments, though, when he drops the cod-Surrealism and moves into the abstract.

Or make it easy to view. Some of these are awful sites in terms of usability. Or is frustration the point?
