Sylph

The Swiss German physician and alchemist Paracelsus first coined the term <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylph">Sylph</a> in the 16th century to describe an air spirit in his overarching scheme of elemental spirits associated with the four Classical elements.

Paracelsus drew from earlier sources, but his systematic treatment of the idea was definitive, with the names of three of the four types having originated in his works. The other three elemental spirits named were Gnomes (earth), Salamanders (fire), and Undines (water).

These ideas were adopted in Rosicrucianism and were widely encountered in subsequent hermetic literature.

In the Liber de Nymphis of the Philosophia Magna, Paracelsus discusses the characteristics of the elementals at length.

Sylphs, he says, are rougher, coarser, taller, and stronger than humans. The elementals are said to be able to move through their own elements as human beings move through air.

Because of this, sylphs are the closest to humans in his conception because they move through air like we do, while in fire they burn, in water they drown, and in earth, they get stuck.

Ya-Te-Veo

<a href="https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Ya-Te-Veo">Ya-Te-Veo</a> (I-See-You) is a fictional man-eating tree that is said to be found in remote areas of South America and Central Asia.

It pretends to be a normal tree, until it's prey comes within range.

As soon as it senses that it's prey is within reach, it lashes out with sharp spines and tendrils in order to ensnare it's prey and tear them asunder; draping it's trunk and roots in their gore. Some depictions give it a mouth which is uses to devour it's prey or a eye in it's trunk which it uses to hunt with.

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: Untitled 21

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.

The song they refer to can be found below:

Danny Malboeuf: The Beautiful Ghosts

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.
