OutbackArt the works of Australian artist Shane Gehlert. Shane's works can be variously described as surrealism, pop surrealism, lowbrow art, fantastic surreal, fantasy art, metaphysical art, fantastic realism or visionary art! Shane is famous for his 'chrome Kangaroos ' and his latest additions of Saint Bilby. His other mechanical marsupials have become and instant hit, as too the recent 'Twitter bird' series, a parody on the social networking phenomenon of this era. The landscapes of Shane's surreal painting creations are inspired by the outback desert vistas of the far west of outback NSW, where Shane lived and worked in the Broken Hill region for some 12 years. The outback and desert landscapes of this area are famous in the art realms of Australia, synonymous with names such as Pro Hart, Jack Absalom and Hugh Schultz.
