SURREBRAL is the art of yours truly, Max LaZebnik.  I am based in Portland, Oregon.  Most of my art is inspired by the visual and space art of the 1960s and 1970s.  The name is a combination of the words “Surreal” (heightened/ dream-like reality) and “Cerebral” (of the mind).  This gallery includes portraits, space and cosmic art, landscapes, and illustrations in a psychedelic art style.  My self-portraits represent Max’s “moods” including “Anxiety” and “The Calm State.”  My portraits of important people represent my feelings about political issues, human rights, inspiration for my creativity, and other issues in the world.  My style derives from classic animated films, pop art, album cover art, poster art, and other fine art.  My space paintings are references to  the retro/ Space Art style of the late 1960’s/ early 1970’s.  The artwork is created in a variety of styles including: watercolors, gouache, colored pencils, inks, graphite pencils, and more.
