Lowbrow art, also known as pop surrealism, is an art movement that emerged in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s. It is characterized by a blend of pop culture imagery, surrealism, and underground art styles.

Lowbrow art often features recognizable figures from popular culture, such as comic book characters, movie monsters, and advertising icons. These figures are often portrayed in surreal and absurd settings, and may be combined with other seemingly unrelated elements to create a unique and subversive image.

Lowbrow art is often associated with the punk and underground music scenes of the 1980s and 1990s, and was embraced by artists who rejected the elitism of the art world and sought to create art that was accessible and engaging to a broader audience.

Lowbrow art has had a significant impact on contemporary art, and has influenced a wide range of artistic movements, from street art to graphic design. It continues to be celebrated for its irreverent and playful approach to art-making, and for its ability to capture the energy and spirit of popular culture.
