A selection of delightfully twisted paintings by California artist Danny Galieote. Blending realist narratives with a pop sensibility, Galieote’s work inhabits both a classic, Norman Rockwell-esque charm and unexpected surrealist edge:

“Many of the scenes include psychological elements such as hints at the inner, intrusive thoughts of the figures, imbuing the light hearted imagery with deeper connotations and illuminating timeless truths of the dualities of human nature.”
