Michael Bilotta
Michael Bilotta, surreal art:
A series of images using red balloons to represent innocence, lost innocence, youth, and fleeting opportunity.
“My entire life has been an experiment with a variety of creative outlets and media. However, I think I am at heart a frustrated wanna-be painter!
My first love was film and fantasy, and I used to draw/sketch and thought I would go into art/design. Then music hit me and I was compelled to follow that to the Berklee College of Music. I started writing songs and finding my voice in that, releasing 2 CD’s of original music. When digital photography and Photoshop came my way, my first love came back to me. Now I can take photos and push them more into the painting aesthetic that I could never achieve in my drawing.”

Moments in Time: Tiny Figures Balanced on Watch Hands: [ By Steph in Architecture & Design & Gadgets & Geek Art. ]
Tiny colored figures balance delicately on the hands of watches are the latest imaginative creations from surrealist designer Dominic Cox, who is also known for his hooks made of hardened unwashed paintbrushes and a hilarious nose stylus for one-handed smart phone use. Commissioned by Dezeen, the ‘Moments in Time‘ series tackles themes like protest and surveillance.
Painted in shades of red and gray and protected by glass domes, the scenes include recreations of the infamous UC Davis protest in which peaceful students were pepper-sprayed by a bored-looking cop. Says the artist, “I find it disturbing when people in positions of power abuse it and lose any sense of humanity. I was shocked to see the footage of the pepper spraying of people sitting in a peaceful protest at UC Davis. I felt a need to capture this incident in time.”
In another scene, a protester and a police officer embrace in a kiss, and a third features CCTV cameras watching over three oblivious photographers. Seven of Wilcox’s miniature works are currently on display at London’s Phillips de Pury gallery.
See many more of these watch works, as well as a video interview with Dominic Wilcox, at Dezeen.

Experimental surrealistic photomontages by Ben Goossens:
“I live in Willebroek, Belgium (Europe). After Art School, where photography was one of the sections, I worked 35 years as an Art Director in advertising and allready 15 years with Photoshop, to realize the ideas. Now my hobby and passion is creating experimental/surrealistic photomontages. I sent those images to International Experimentaal Photocontests with success. With differents shootings I try to ceated my own personal image. What I make now, is a logic follow-up from what I did professionaly. Maybe those images are not accepted by everybody, but the last years they are eddited all over the world in magazines and books.”
