Game Changer 2021

"Game Changer" (2021) by Michael Cheval (b. 1966) is a surrealist painting that combines historical elements with a fantastical narrative. The central figure is a woman in a portrait, held by unseen hands, while chess pieces fall from the sky, suggesting a game in progress. The figures in the foreground, dressed in historical attire, and the floating orbs add to the dreamlike atmosphere. Cheval's style is characterized by meticulous detail and a masterful use of light and shadow.
