A magnificently surreal image, this piece plays on classical imagery, with some of the figures resembling the pristine statues of ancient greece. Like a moment from a mysterious dream, the head of the figure in green is replaced with an explosion, perhaps a metaphor for emotion or speech. The figure poses expressively with a hand on his chest, adding to the sense of theatre of this dramatic image. Bartolome liarte aparicio is a spanish postwar & contemporary artist.
