| Varo's Chair SOLD |
|||||||||||
| This is the second in the artist chair series. Remedios Varo, a Spanish surrealist painter who lived half of her life in Mexico, is a great resourse, visually, for me. A prolific painter, she often used imagery of wheels, wings, pulleys, wind and other natural elements as metaphors. She painted implausibly functioning machine-like transportation vehicles, which are fantastic and magical. In this piece, the animated chair has arms that emerge from the wings and hold onto wires that are attached to the bottom wheels, setting the chair in motion. The M. C. Escher like staircases weave in and out of space suggesting movement from one plane or one state of mind to another. The bird and the compass watch nearby. | |||||||||||
