We’ve followed the work of Erik Johansson for years now, admiring the way he’s able to creatively construct a surrealist scene. His work touches themes of harnessing the elements, turning night to day, and juxtaposing urban life with nature.

Here is a collection of his newer work, including a woman rising from an escalator into a thick forest, shopping bags in hand. In another, a woman uses a giant pair of tweezers to pluck (or place?) stars from the sky. We also see a man standing sideways on a tree, contemplating his own fate as he aims to saw it down.  Johansson spends significant time and effort staging and creating these images, and it shows.
