Vladimir Kush / Surrealism

Vladimir Kush (born 1965) is a Russian born surrealist painter and sculptor.
You can clearly see the influence of Dali in his work! Slightly less bizarre than Dali's work, not realistic, but actual recognisable objects put together in a strange way rather than totally distorted like Dali's work.
You also may notice that a lot of the paintings, if not all, have some reference to nature / natural forms. A few have images of construction, similar to the 'sticks' in Dali's work that hold things up.
I love the way he paints clouds...they're beautiful! I quite like his work; I definitely prefer it to Dali's paintings!
I've noticed that Kush tends to personify objects, such as the bananas in Golden Anniversary, and also he makes things larger than life, often fitting a natural form into a human scene...kind of showing irony? But then I've also noticed that he fits humans into natural scenes, as the first few images show. He seems to like the human form too, and all his forms are very slender and elongated.
