this image reminded me of what Manic Depression looks like.

I see your friend likes to play with fire.
Superkraut
They sure like to set furniture on fire

This looks so much like an American horror story opening scene

This is backlash from his photo teachers telling him he wasn't allowed to do gimmicky shit for assignments. :D

I'm not entirely sure this guy isn't a murderer

But... How do we sleep when our beds are burning?

Wtf? Is anyone else seriously disturbed by what they just saw? No? just me. What's new.
swevener
Good: yes. Absolutely astonishing: most definitely not.

Do animals or people mysteriously disappear when he's around?
ProfessorDumbass
They find most of the bits
hepuliini
Oh my god, that last one is going to chase me in my dreams tonight
FedeGonza2D
The name of the photographer is Chris Mckenney :)
RexTruform
Is it just me, or is he trying a bit too hard to be surreal and edgey?
KarmaRaven23
Don't know what you call it, but these are amazing.
zachrothenberg
These are amazing. Where can I see more?

You don't understand. He put this pictures for his AP exam in 2D art and every single fucking year my teacher used him as an example.

How many of them represent the duality of man?

TIL that apparently 'edgy' and 'repetitious' now mean surreal.
atomicthumbs
they're so wacky!
Snarkoleptic
You can judge them any way you want, but many do in fact qualify as surreal.
ProfessorDumbass
I guess few people went to school with him...I have seen these before
AnAngryMob
Yeah ok, professor dumbass.
FancySweet
Oh, we must have gone to the same school then because I've seen these before too!
spankitformedaddy
I just saw these as an artists way of dealing with being depressed.
MrsSkeltal
?
spankitformedaddy
sorry I need more coffee, I agree, I just saw someone else (artist). I am going thru my history to try and find.
BlackChoppyDown
A lot of these aren't surrealist.
parallaxis
*surrealistic, read the OP
Frodomann1
I think "conceptual" would be a better word for it.
ICannotStressThisEnoughBut
But are they surrealistic?
user563235
Art has many forms, not the least, those are good pictures.

More dada than surreal
DrHenryJonesJr
No dada is more like sticking a toilet in a gallery, you have to be really fucking with someone for it to be dadaism.
AppalachianAdventurer
As someone who was active in the conceptual art community of Flickr for a few years, some of these these are very recycled ideas from more
AppalachianAdventurer
Prominent people the conceptual art community. Alex Stoddard's earlier stuff, for example.
Etiennedelaboetie
Can someone explain what surrealist is?
westendgrills
wikipedia always explains things better than i can https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealism
PeruvianSinatra
Basically something that looks not real. For example the dude burried in the ground is not surreal. But the hanging head with no body is.
Killertortilla
This is my dad's painting "rock and roll" http://imgur.com/CY0FVT8 this is surrealism
Killertortilla
Another, much more recent, example "another perspective" http://imgur.com/TISTopU
DrHenryJonesJr
Your dad does a great job capturing the humor that is crucial in surrealism. It's a really fantastic piece.
Killertortilla
Thank you very much :) he loved painting a whole lot more before he found out the market for it is miniscule.
DinoKebab
Something that is surreal.
Etiennedelaboetie
Best answer. Thank you.
DinoKebab
You are welcome.
