My two favorite artists are Salvador Dali and Mark Ryden-does anyone know of any artists with a similar style?

Answer 1

Wow. Dali and Mark Ryden...they are different from each other as well. Ryden is not really a surrealist like Dali was. I like his work too, some of his stuff is Sick!!

Mark Ryden is a very successful illustrator. You should look at Illustration sites (www.ai-ap.com) because his type of figurative painting has been dead in the fine arts world since the dawn of 'modernism', but has been making a resurgence which I think has been inspired by the Illustration and comics field. A lot of these folks are coming out of California.

You know who you might LOVE??

Camille Rose Garcia - she's AWESOME! Check out her website:
www.camillerosegarcia.com
Might I recommend her 'who's afraid of the Peppermint Man' and 'Creepcakes Bakery' series. All of it has a bizarre story, kind of like Ryden's work, but more involved as a comic would be. If you like stuff that's kind of dark and sick, you'll like this.

Answer 2

Leonora Carrington; Remedios Varo, V. Valdemar, Frida Kahlo.

Anyone within the surrealist movement

Answer 3

Well, Dali was a surrealist so you could start by looking at other surrealists, notably Rene Magritte and Max Ernst.

Answer 4

Magritte. You'd probably like Bosch's "Garden of Earthly Delights". I have this painting in my room by a less well-known artist named Appia; it's called "Enter the holes of memory" (I translated that from the French title).

Answer 5

This websites are dedicated to pop surrealism: www.ohsosurreal.com or www.pop-surrealism.com

Answer 6

If you like surrealism than you should check out the paintings of the following:

Kay Sage. Rene Magritte. Yves Tanguy. I think you'll like them all. I'm particularly fond of Sage's work.

Answer 7

If you like Dali you could try Bosch and Bruegel.

Answer 8

There's no one like Dali.... plain and simple like that! I love him! :-)
