Illusions du Monde / Gérard Deuquet (Geday), (c. Mid-20th Century)
Illusions du Monde / Gérard Deuquet (Geday), (c. Mid-20th Century)
A silent dialogue between man, architecture, and the monstrous subconscious.
A lone figure in a pale suit stands dwarfed within a classical colonnade where organic pillars root into a fractured, abyssal floor. The artist employs precise, academic brushwork and dramatic chiaroscuro to render this dreamscape with unnerving clarity, juxtaposing the cool geometry of the architecture against a vast, fleshy form that looms in the background. This is a masterful work of psychological theatre, a place where rational order meets the primal, and the familiar world has given way to a beautiful, unsettling illusion.
