<p>Classical meets modern in a surreal mashup splashed all over the walls of the <a href="https://thomaseindhoven.nl/">Thomas cafe</a> in the Netherlands, the work of a duo of artists known as <a href="http://www.studiogiftig.nl/">Studio Giftig.</a> Highly in demand for their colorful, oversized works of art, Niels van Swaemen and K&aacute;spar van Leek were invited to transform the kind of space most muralists only dream of working in, wrapping their imagery around baroque molding and up onto the ceiling.</p>

<p>Entitled &ldquo;A Surreal Perception,&rdquo; the monumental piece pairs black and white portraits of stone statues with floating whales, neon sunglasses, crowned monkeys riding cranes and more, all set on a pale pink backdrop. Much of the work was completed using spray cans, which helped them get into the nooks and crannies of the molding.</p>
