Stephen Gibb
Stephen Gibb paints comically unsettling bits of surreal scenery, teeming with anthropomorphic foods, inanimate objects and animals.
One of my favorite things about art in this vein is that it seems to gently hint at some rather serious themes…while never taking itself too seriously.
I encourage you to read the titles of each piece, if you explore his online galleries.
From the artist bio:
The gory details…..
Stephen was dropped on his head as a baby while his mother was visiting the Museum of Modern Art. Ever since, he has been drawing, painting and scratching in a non-stop orgy of creation. His paintings are psychological offerings, rich in irony and distortions, bristling with sublime, psychotropic colours. Human forms struggle in an existential blending of mind and machine yet up through the conflict a subtle black humour percolates. Always wear your helmet.

My bet is the foods in your fridge must behave just like some of the ones in Mr. Gibb’s art. Even going on adventures. I hope they take you along in your dreams next time. xox

Well, food IS the stuff that dreams are made of! xoxo

I love the transparent elements, particularly the reds.
