The Winner Takes It All 2017

"The Winner Takes It All," created in 2017 by Michael Cheval, depicts a knight in shining armor and a queen in a white gown adorned with a tower, dancing on a bed of arrows. The scene suggests a precarious love, as their romance unfolds in the face of danger and adversity. The artwork evokes a sense of fairytale wonder, while also hinting at the darker side of power and ambition. The image is a striking example of Cheval's signature style, characterized by its surreal and imaginative elements. This work explores themes of love, conquest, and the fragility of human relationships.
