21 Amazing Surrealistic Animal Drawings By A Dutch Artist

Surrealism is an artistic discipline that merges fantasy and reality. For those who don’t know, Surrealism is a 1920’s cultural movement that involves unnerving, illogical scenes drawn very realistically. This may include strange creatures painted in a twisted way that often doesn’t make any sense.

Using this method, Redmer Hoekstra, an amazing artist from Netherlands, tried to incorporate animals in his fantastic drawings. Below are several of his artworks featuring animals, books, keyboards, vehicles, etc, merged in the most bizarre ways.

1. Elephant and human fused in the most bizarre way.

2. Handshaking with horse-thumbs.

3. This giraffe is mysteriously evolving into a tree.

4. These shoes are turning into this lion’s mane.

5. This bizarre looking monkey is eating so much at once he’s slowly turning into a burger.

6. A banana blue whale with a ship on its back.

7. Peacock wearing a glamorous tail made from fish.
