Bartolome Liarte Aparicio - Surreal Faces

This enchanting piece shows a fleeting series of figures who appear to be swiftly moving through the air, the drapery of the clothing and hair flowing behind them. 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.
