Persephone

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persephone">Persephone</a> is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, who was abducted and carried off to the underworld by Hades to be his wife. She was later rescued, after her mother, Demeter, ordered that no plants would grow until she was returned. However, Hades tricked her into eating some pomegranate seeds, which meant she had to spend a third of the year (Later revised to half a year, by later poets) with Hades in the underworld. This is the foundation of how the seasons work in Greek Mythology.

So the alien parrot horses are using a flower to make a pair of fish levitate as part of their religious rituals to appease their star god. As surrealist pieces go, this one is actually quite sensible.

Jeremy Cunningham is a member of the English Folk-Rock band <a href="https://www.levellers.co.uk/about/together-all-the-way">The Levellers</a> and his cover art for the albums is one of the main reasons I became interest in surrealist and aboriginal art. Official Description: "Fear of heights and falling!" Most of Jeremy Cunningham's paintings are 'untitled' to enable the viewer to look at them without preconception; the artist notes are provided as reasons for painting rather than being illustrative.

Official Description: "A bit of hope under the S Bahn in Berlin, circa 97" Although most of Jeremy Cunningham's paintings are 'untitled' to enable the viewer to look at them without preconception; King of All Time appeared as the cover to the Levellers' biggest hit single 'What A Beautiful Day'. Which was itself renamed from its original title of 'King of All Time' due to record company pressure.

I know I tend to bend the rules when it comes to my art dumps, but I always try and keep it themed if I can. But in this case, I just found this image to be particularly beautiful and wanted to share it with everyone. If you feel like there's a better gallery for it, please let me know and I'll ask a mod to move it ASAP.

The biggest trouble with surrealism is that when asked to describe it, the only answer you can really give is: "So, yeah....this is a thing."
