The Lovers

I've always loved this CD album artwork, and after Luke showed my Rene Magritte's paintings, i realized that the album art was photography directly inspired by 'The Lovers' series by Rene Magritte.!
                                                                                   
 
"Casually dresses and deep in Conversation" - Album ART


Rene Magritte - The Lovers

An obvious similarity between the two. Love both of them. The surrealist feel of the both, along with the colour pallet.  :D

Gabriel Moreno


Interesting idea of the way in which the image is set out - perhaps more of an artist model for folios rather that the intenal.  ?

Christian Rex van Minnen


This Guy uses a women's silhouette or figure and paints inside them, or even creates their face/form through a surreal style of painting. (below)

Richard Young



Richard young is a UK based artist who paints figures mostly in movement or dance. I love the use of lightinghe uses on his figures.

Paul Cava


Paul Cava is an artist who crosses between different Mediums in his artwork. For example using painting techniques and effects, in a photography peice. I like this idea, and in particular the way he uses stencils, negative space, and silhouettes. (above).  :)
