Thrift Store Find - Abstract/Surreal Painting Signed CLEM(?) by Artist CLEM$?

I found this at my local thrift store today. I like it (it reminds me of the Beatles album or movie but I can't remember which one) - and note it's not a mirror image - 1 side is frowning while 2nd is smiling!).
When I looked at the signature I saw Clem - & googling painting signed Clem brought up a lot of -also - off the wall paintings by a artist named Clem$ (with a dollar sign at end) whose works are valued in the $1,000's!.
Could this be one of his?
Does the artist signature look like Clem?
Thoughts on this latest find?
Thank you!
PS - It's large; about 4ft x 2 1/2 - 3 ft.

 

Looking at it blown up here - maybe it's signed Alex M.?

 

I'd think Alex M. too. And doubt professional artist. More student work.

Debora

 

Someone untrained at least. I'd be thinking Magical Mystery Tour and the Yellow Submarine movie. It looks a lot like the Blue Meanies.

 

I agree, not a professional painter. Just someone who had a lot of fun painting it.
It is not abstract and not Surrealist. If you really want to put it into a style box, it is closer to Cubist, though not of the period.

 

The sig looks like Alex M to me, too.
This picture brought a smile to my face... the colors and the goofiness, I guess.
