Surrealism

This subreddit is for the free exchange of surreal visual art. Post your own work or that of other artists (please make sure to give credit) Surrealist works feature the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur; however, many Surrealist artists and writers regard their work as an expression of the philosophical movement first and foremost, with the works being an artefact.
