This haunting 1986 painting by Polish artist Zdzislaw Beksinski is characteristic of his surreal and often disturbing style, featuring an enigmatic skeletal figure riding a motorcycle with a strange, skeletal creature beside it. The work's stark color palette and detailed, anatomical depiction of the figures evoke a sense of alienation and existential dread, making it a potent example of Beksinski's signature style.
