Zdzisław Beksiński comes to mind. His art expresses the surreal logic of dreams.

For music, maybe Luciano Cilio. He was an outsider, and between genres. His one and only album is at times serene, at times haunting. It sounds detached, like the mind of a person who skims the surface of life without ever finding his way fully in.

have been reading a lot of Ferris Medzier lately. stuck on this quote in The Death of the Filial
he sets it up
>"...but we see in examining the polarity of filius-patrus a certain trait not of recurrence but of negation; it is akin to Pollybaker's description of birth as that which 'reaffirms the life of the father but only insofar as it destroys it.' Against typical Freudian conceptions of the battle between father and son for ascendancy, he argues that rather the father is grooming the song all along and in this birth must blot out his own desire.
which I get, but then it goes to
>Thus, we arrive at a paradox where birth cannot be assessed as a gain or loss in affect, but only as a sort of centrifuge into which all of humanity is thrown. Lives are destroyed in it, and yet to refuse to participate is akin to becoming the proverbial goatherd. Inevitably, we must conclude from the very fact of birth that any true metaphysics is impossible.
