Best Lowbrow Pop Surrealism Art Accounts On Instagram

I’m an art junky. Pop Surrealism, Lowbrow Pop, Dark Art, Monsters, New Contemporary or simply skilful illustrations. For those like me, here are the best lowbrow pop surrealism accounts on Instagram I’ve been able to find. As a bonus, I’ve listed some curated pages that have lowbrow pop on Insta but also weave in other dark art and generally epic others sprinkled in there too, just to branch out a little. Good art is good art.

Follow, feast your eyeballs and enjoy.

Pop Surreal - Just like the name suggests, a wide range of Pop Surrealism to feast your eyes on.
