The mechanical cherubs

View through Europeana Collections
The painting "The mechanical cherubs" is a characteristic example of the Greek surrealism movement. The artist creates an illusory space that encompasses a double image, the imaginary and the nightmarish, the unusual and the ordinary that includes contradictions and contrasts. The absurd design of things that evoke a dream and are reinforced by Freudian symbols, by a sense of impending destruction creates an image that is enigmatic, incomprehensible, ambiguous with an incoherent, not coherent relationship between things.
