Image Maker 2021

"Image Maker" (2021) by Michael Cheval depicts a woman in a green and red dress, adorned with a lattice of egg-shaped compartments. The woman, holding a paintbrush and a palette, is gazing at a white rooster on a fence. The woman's attire is reminiscent of a henhouse, highlighting a playful exploration of art and its relationship to nature, creation, and reproduction. Cheval's signature style, with its meticulous detail and surreal elements, imbues the piece with a sense of whimsy and captivating strangeness.
