In an attempt to take art to the peopleen masse- and promote the largest group exhibit of surreal art this winter -- Portuguese surrealist painter Santiago Ribeiro is teasing the public with flash images of his work in the most famous intersection of the world: Times Square.

Ribeiro's vivid, colorful paintings will be shown sporadically - flashed on random days at random times -- on the Nasdaq OMX Group screen in New York City until Dec. 31, 2017. They will be up for three whole minutes on the Reuter's screen for each appearance - ample time for tens of thousands of pedestrians to catch a glimpse.

 he pieces are part of the International Surrealism Now exhibit, which is to open at the multimedia POROS Museum in Condeixa-a-Nova this October. Billed as the largest world exhibition of contemporary Surrealism art in Europe - with more than 100 artists from 48 countries participating - the exhibit of paintings, drawings, digital art, photographs and sculpture is also expected to be shown, at least in part, at several monuments and public spaces throughout Portugal.

"As always I´m doing something different and the idea to exhibit in Times Square in New York shows how the mass media are our modern means to show our art," Ribeiro said.

Ribeiro's work has been featured at the U.S. embassy in Lisbon, in the Portuguese American Journal, in Digital Meets Culture, Praad in Portuguese and many other publications. His sponsors include Bissaya Barreto Foundation, Condeixa a Nova House Mayor and MagicCraftsman Studio.

He conceived the International Surrealism Now movement in 2010 in Coimbra with a major exhibit organized by Bissaya Barreto.

Note for the international tourists:
Visit Portugal as a tourist for International Surrealism Now. It's one of the safest places in the world --without terrorism, without violence, without weapons. There are no hurricanes and cyclones, only good food and wine (vinho tinto), wonderful places and weather, the sea and mountains, the monuments and city ruins from the Stone Age to the Roman Empire; from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance; maritime discoveries; from the Classic to the Modern.
