Seonna Hong

Here is an example of Seonna Hong's work. She is Los Angeles based and practices what some call "Lowbrow" or Pop Surrealism in her art. I am a huge fan of her Tectonic Plate series, which you can view on her website: seonnahong.com

I like the disconnectedness in this work. The geography relates to many landscapes all over the world, but the way it was painted makes it very specific and harder to identify.  The bears are small and simplistic, almost cartoonish. They seem comfortable in their habitat and not at all alarmed by the viewer's presence.  Plus the colors in the painting are rad.
