“The Phenomenon of Floating”
Toronto-born Rob Gonsalves is a surrealist master whose marvelous paintings depict dreamlike illusions. It’s almost like a mashup of M.C. Escher and Rene Magritte. But, of course, Gonsalves’ style is the result of his own creative synthesis of many artistic strands. Many of his paintings feature wide landscapes and young children — which seems appropriate for both the whimsical joy and philosophical reflection conjured by this painstaking artwork. More of Gonsalves’ art can be seen on his official site here and at the site for Huckleberry Fine Art.

Thanks!
Those are really amazing
In our school library we have two or three books that feature his art. Two of them are called ‘Imagine a Day’ and ‘Imagine a Place’. The children love these books and his beautiful art work.
That’s wonderful for the kids!
I covet each and every one of these.

That one is cool, for sure!
Wow…I am so intrigued by his work. I love “Stepping Stones”. 🙂
As an avid hiker who loves stepping across rock-strewn trails, so do I.
Brett, thanks for introducing Rob Gonsalves. I love surreal, absurd and mindboggling art, and Rob’s works fit beautifully to that category.
Olli, yes, a perfect combination!
Very cool! I love the painting with the blocks in front of the skyline!

Amazing artwork. They’re beautiful with their colours and concepts but also with the uniqueness of their perspectives.
