Detail

 

With psychedelic, folk art, and art nouveau inspired style, this fine art surreal nude by Ted Coconis captures a nude erotic goddess dancing above the clouds, surrounded by smaller figures that draw on iconography from a number of different cultures. The cherub and bear and foreshortened men who gloat behind her, all suggest something of the irrepressible subconscious of the artist, and the sunrise color scheme reinforces this dreamlike sensation. This is a wild piece of 1970s psychedelic art by an intriguing album cover and paperback illustrator.
