Contemporary Surrealism Oil paintingAcrylic
About
Michael Kennedy, known by his alias Malangeo, is a New Zealand-based contemporary artist specializing in surrealist and pop surreal art. He creates distinctive portraits of what he describes as "creepy-cute" creatures, sugar-crazed beings, and fragile floral subjects that blend traditional oil painting techniques with contemporary pop surrealism. His artistic style is heavily influenced by the irreverent humor of cartoons and comics such as The Far Side and Calvin & Hobbes, resulting in work characterized by whimsical charm, dark humor, and pop culture references.
