I recently fell in love with early 20th century surrealist Rene Magritte; after looking at many of Deyber's paintings I can see a great connection here. Both artists force the viewer to disassociate the form with its literal meaning. It's genius.
Here's an example of a play on words, entitled "Reign Deer"
In "Pulling Hare," Deyber shows the historical sculpture "Winged Victory of Samothrace" (which now stands beside the Mona Lisa in the Louvre) being drug on a dolly by a hare. You could go several places with the meaning here, but there's no doubting the art historical humor.
