{"product_id":"lady-godiva-remedios-varo","title":"Lady Godiva - Remedios Varo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA surrealist interpretation of the Lady Godiva legend by Remedios Varo, featuring her signature elongated figures and alchemical symbolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemedios Varo, a Spanish-Mexican artist, produced this work in 1956. It represents her characteristic approach to the Surrealist tradition, blending alchemical symbolism with a distinct, dreamlike narrative. The composition features a central figure, a reimagining of the legendary Lady Godiva, who is depicted riding a unicycle-like device. Her form is elongated and ethereal, with a mask-like face that suggests a detachment from the physical world. The figure holds a flaming torch, which casts a warm, amber glow across the scene, contrasting with the cooler tones of her attire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVaro often utilised architectural elements to frame her subjects, and here, a peering face in the background adds a sense of voyeurism or hidden observation. The presence of a fish in the lower corner introduces an element of the absurd, a common feature in her oeuvre. The application of paint is precise, with fine brushwork that creates a smooth, almost luminous surface. The colour palette is dominated by warm ochres, oranges, and deep browns, which contribute to the mysterious atmosphere of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work reflects Varo's interest in the intersection of science, mysticism, and the subconscious. She moved to Mexico in 1941, where she developed her mature style. Her paintings frequently explore themes of isolation, transformation, and the search for knowledge. By placing a historical figure within such a fantastical, mechanical setting, Varo invites the viewer to reconsider traditional narratives through a lens of personal mythology. The technical execution demonstrates her mastery of light and shadow, which she used to define the spatial relationships within her imagined worlds. This print captures the specific textures and tonal variations of the original masonite panel, providing a clear view of the artist's meticulous technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/the-return-of-the-flame-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Return of the Flame - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/a-night-at-saint-jean-man-ray\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Night at Saint Jean - Man Ray — Man Ray\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Remedios Varo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58836352008527,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58836372685135,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58836372717903,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58836372750671,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58836372783439,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Lady-Godiva_Poster_CompositorV1_1789945598199.jpg?v=1789946677","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/lady-godiva-remedios-varo","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
