Welcome to the Gallery of the Impossible – an artistic exploration beyond your wildest imaginings! You will encounter surreal entities, impossible landscapes, and mind bending abstracts. Be warned that some exhibits will challenge your very notion of reality.  If your ready to see spectacles you have considered… click on one of our featured exhibits below.

The Gallery of the Impossible is a Metaverse Location; it only exists online with no real world counterpart.  This means we are open 24/7 and available to you anywhere in the world, with no line ups. 

Our Mission: This project is to provide you with a true gallery experience through an online medium.  I want you to feel that sense of wonder, inspiration and introspection I personally have when I go to a traditional art gallery in the real world.

Organization: This site is organized with that above mission in mind. Think of this page as the central lobby for the gallery, below you can access the active exhibits, each of which has a central room surrounded by smaller salons rooms.  Each exhibit has a large public gallery which is free for all.  If you wish to share these artistic images social media, feel free to do so, but provide a link back to the gallery. 

The public gallery at the top level of each exhibit is a selection chosen from the Salons (generally about 30-50 pieces.)  In the Salons you will find the bulk of the exhibits content (generally between 200 to 600 pieces), sorted by collections.  The salons are essentially a specific aspect of the broader theme covered by the exhibition.

There are thousands of artistic pieces featured in this gallery, but the goal of our organizing them in this way to not just provide you with an overwhelming feed of disjointed images, but to give you neatly organized rooms to explore, contemplate and share with friends.  Some of our collections even tell stories in picture form. 

Perhaps one of the most unusual aspects of this gallery is NONE of the creative works herein ‌were “created” in the traditional sense. Human beings were involved by requesting and curated these works, however, all the artistic choices came from algorithms run on state-of-the art neural networks. You will witness extreme technical competence, passion, soul and profound messages within each work. As a digital artist of over 20 years, the potential of this technology blows my mind away.  We in 2023 are standing in the dawn of a new exciting era of computer technology… AI will change our lives just as much as having the internet vs no internet did. 

“The Impossible Gallery” does not have a unifying theme, with the possible exception that all content is generated exclusively through AI systems.  However, AI can do everything from dancing pigs in the classic baroque painting style to a neon highlighted selfie- done by tripped out raver aliens. 

I have been a passionate collector of AI generated art for around 9 months now.  The exhibits you see are curated content this massive collection of very different styles, themes, and apparently different mediums.  But to call it a “photo” or a “watercolor painting” is a bit of a lie, as it all is generated art.  It only looks like a photo or looks like a watercolor, so the divisions are arbitrarily set by me as I organized the content in a way that made it more useful for viewing. 

 This gallery isn’t designed to be all things for all people, nor is it there to specialized on one specific style of art as most galleries do.

I’m starting with galleries of exotic and weird attractions because that’s what I most love to see when I look at AI generated art.  So you may be wondering why I have a “coloring book” which is mostly geared for children… then right after that I have Shades of Lovecraft with is obviously a horror theme… totally not appropriate for anyone except thrill seeking teenagers. 

As an Artist, the act of creation involves less planning and more about riding the chaos of intuition and artistic expression.  This gallery is formed that way.  As I develop more exhibitions I will make more logical organizations of them.  Color your world will eventually branch into a practical application category and many of the others will form into a wild entertainment category.   The Impossible Gallery is, itself, an artistic work in progress. 

1) Bookmark this page.  I made sure that navigation on site is clean and easy with links provided at the top of each page, however the internet is weird and you may wander off site, or lose your spot.  If you set a bookmark to this page then you can easily return here and resume your contemplation with minimal interruption. 

2) Use a large screen.  Great pains have been taken to optimized this site for portable technology (aka Phones and Tablets).  I wanted to have the ability to take my gallery out for anyone, anywhere at anytime and show off something truly impressive.  At the end of the day I still feel a large screen provides a more relaxed viewing experience, that is more similar to being in an art gallery.  So take the time to sit down and relax, turn on your desktop or smart TV and really enjoy yourself. 

3) Invite a Friend Over.  Personally I love to bounce impressions and ideas off other people as I contemplate different pieces.  Many of the images in this gallery convey a powerful emotional charge, so they will illicit strong reactions.  You may be suprised at what your friends react to, and how they differ from your own.  Sometimes you may both agree on how horrible a piece is, and that I was daft for adding it to the gallery… well at least it’s a conversation starter.  Besides this is one of the few galleries where you can share it with two or three people for price of one ticket (really it’s ok, I don’t mind).   

4) Play music.  Galleries often have jazz, trance, or classical music in the background, as it provides ambiance and is great for mood.  I have mixed feelings when it comes to music on a website.  If you like the music then it works like a supercharger taking the experience to the next level.  If you don’t like it, then it really detracts from the experience, in addition to eating bandwidth (which slows loading times of images).  The best solution is simple: Take a few seconds to put on some chill MP3 that you think will match the exhibit you are about to look at.  My personal choices are using Creepy Ambient for “Shades of Lovecraft,” Trance or Techno for The Eyes Have It, and a selection Danny Elfman or Hans Zimmer for “Flights of Fantastic Fantasy” and “Color your World.”  Think about what your going to explore and choose music for the best match.  You’ll find that the extra effort makes you much more involved and part of the artistic experience. 

4) Take your Time.  Go get a steamy brew of rich coffee or uncork a bottle of your finest vintage.  Art, like life is something that should be savored, not rushed through.  We are so busy and stressed and so prone to instant gratification we rarely slow down to take time to smell the roses.  Yes there is a lot to see here, but it will be here for you whenever you have a need to chill and contemplate.
