A plaster bust of a face, painted in violet-blue and white, features fluffy white clouds across the face. This unexpected combination evokes a sense of mystery and invites interpretation.
René Magritte (1898-1967) was a Belgian Surrealist artist, known for his witty and thought-provoking images. His work challenges viewers' pre-conceived notions of reality. Magritte's art often features ordinary objects in unexpected contexts, inviting contemplation and questioning of the relationship between image and reality. He aimed to disrupt conventional ways of seeing, prompting viewers to reconsider the world around them. 'The Future of Statues' presents a plaster bust of a face, painted in a striking combination of violet-blue and white. The face is serene, with closed eyes, suggesting a state of contemplation or dream. The violet-blue paint covers most of the surface, while fluffy white clouds are painted across the face, creating a juxtaposition between the solid, classical form of the bust and the ephemeral, atmospheric quality of the clouds. This unexpected combination evokes a sense of mystery and invites interpretation. The artwork plays with the contrast between the permanence associated with statues and the transient nature of clouds, prompting reflection on time, perception, and the nature of representation.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

Painted a pipe and wrote that it was not a pipe. Worked in a suit next to the living room furniture. Made the ordinary impossible for forty years.
