Andre Breton was a surrealist/writer, and he wrote the "Surrealist Manifesto". His work was very expressive and he often worked with the human body.

Salvador Dalí 
Salvador Dalí (11 May 1904 – 23 January 1989) was a famous surrealist. During World War 2 he and his wife, Gala, retreated to America, moving back in 1948. He studied in Madrid Spain. I chose him because he tried to analyse the subconscious parts of the mind, which I find interesting. 

Lee Bul
Some of Bul's more known works are the Cyborg Sculptures. She says they bring forward "our fear and fascination with the uncategorizable and uncanny". This fear can be found in many people and probably fuels the desire of many to label everything. She worked on her Cyborgs from 1997 to 2011. The two originals were the red and blue cyborgs, and many of her cyborg sculptures are misshapen and often seemed to be missing limbs as well as heads.

Arlindo Bartista makes pieces based off of his sometimes lucid dreams. This is similar to what I am doing, and I find his art very interesting.
