“This Is Not Magritte” is an original, signed 16 × 24 inch painting by Bisbee, Arizona artist Bill Mead, a clever and affectionate nod to surrealist tradition. Mead blends humor, homage, and his own unmistakable style, placing bold objects, unexpected scale, and a floating figure into a landscape that feels both familiar and dreamlike.
The piece carries a thoughtful, lightly mischievous energy. Mead’s surrealism is confident but never heavy‑handed; the unusual elements settle naturally into the scene, inviting the viewer to enjoy the wit, symbolism, and quiet strangeness woven throughout. A vibrant, imaginative work from Mead’s Gravity & Wonder collection.
