Who's this by? The concept feels Magrittey (though not the style). I like it!

The author of this painting entitled Fragile, painted circa 2003 is Maggie Taylor. More of her fabulous work can be seen here: http://www.maggietaylor.com/

Yes "Magritte-like" minus the hats or top of the cranium for that matter.

Judging by the sanguine expression on the guy's face, letting off steam in this manner must be very therapeutic. If only we all came equipped with lids on top of our heads!

The persona in the pic is indeed rather androgynous looking. But judging from the frilly collar on what appears to be a dress, I'd wager that this is a woman. Either way we could sure a safety valve couldn't we.
