Mondo Bizzarro Gallery


Today I found a goldmine, diamondmine actually. I am so excited, I really need to share this. You know I keep following Ray Caesar in the hope of him coming to a gallery near Holland any time soon. So I ran into this website of the Mondo Bizzarro Gallery in Rome Italy. Ray Caesar will exhibit his work there for a month. Me being curious about the gallery with their interesting slogan: 'In art only the bizarre is beautiful', looked at some other artist who have exhibited there. What I found was a goldmine. My wall of heroes has expanded radically after visisting. And this special gallery has become a must-see as well. But back to the artist. There are some really amazing surrealists out there(so this must be the place they have all been hiding :p). They all have their own styles and methods but they have a lot in common too. It is the dark touch and the feel that takes your breath away. I noticed that a lot of the artists are from Japan. I am going to research the artists so I can post some articles about them, and help everyone know they excist. And I am absolutely going to plan a trip to Rome soon. I just have to see this beautifull gallery...
