Distilled Blues 2020

"Distilled Blues" by Michael Cheval (b. 1966) is a surrealist oil painting featuring two figures engaged in musical performance. The woman, with a mechanical apparatus attached to her head, plays a flute while the man, with a jester-like costume, strums a lute. This surrealist piece uses vibrant colors and intricate details to create a dreamlike and whimsical atmosphere. Cheval, a contemporary artist known for his fantastical and imaginative compositions, invites viewers to explore the possibilities of the human experience through the lens of absurdity.
