Surreal Artist Illustrates His Work In A Way That Makes You Think Outside The Box (20 Pics)

French artist, Guy Billout, is well-known for his thought-provoking artwork that almost seem to defy the laws the logic. His style is characterised by clean, spare and precise brushstrokes that depict a world parallel to our own with an element of surrealism. His characters often remain composed in the face of impending doom and his art is infused with dark humour and optimism.   Guy Billout was born and educated in France, however, he moved to New York City in 1969 where he embarked on a career in advertising. On gaining fame after being published in the New York Magazine, Guy was able to express his own creativity more freely in his illustrations, leading to the development of his current style. In 2016, this talented artist was even inducted into the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame, where he was described as "more than an illustrator, a compassionate poet of the absurd.” In fact, you can check out some of his famous works in the gallery below to decide for yourself if this does indeed, ring true.  More info: Instagram | graphis.com
