Bicameral Mind 2016

"Bicameral Mind" (2016) by Michael Hafftka is a large-scale painting that evokes a sense of surrealism and psychological depth. The work features an array of abstract forms, including a prominent figure resembling an animal with glasses, and a collection of disembodied hands seemingly emerging from an amorphous mass. The use of swirling lines, bold colors, and the artist's signature gestural brushstrokes creates a sense of dynamism and energy within the composition. The piece's title hints at the artist's exploration of the subconscious and the duality of human thought. The viewer is left to interpret the meaning behind the painting's enigmatic imagery, engaging in a dialogue with the artist's inner world.
