Hypnogogic or Surreal Pop Art

I was just introduced to the artist, Franco Brambilla.  I was stunned when I came across his art as it was the most unique and interesting art I had seen in years.  While it may seem mediocre to some, the art speaks for itself.  Brambilla brings in depictions of vintage characters and pop icons and melds them with sci-fi and 3D landscapes resulting in a truly enigmatic piece of art.  

I like to call these pieces hypnogogic or surreal pop art. 

Take a look at the art and give me your thoughts. 

Here are some examples of that below.


Die, Mechadyno! Die



Beware of Friendly Strangers!



Our Lord of Darkness


The Aquatic Conspiracy



ReBible




At Lido Cup


Let me know your thoughts on these great pieces of art.

I love the Star Wars ones, that's awesome. It's very surreal as you said. I'd love to see more of his work, what's his site?

I studied art in college. Like how you called it hypnogogic/surreal pop art. That seems to fit this genre of art real well. Did you ever take any art classes?
