Michael Cheval is the world’s leading contemporary artist, specializing
in absurdist paintings, drawings and portraits. In his definition,
absurdity is an inverted side or reality, a reverse side of logic. It
does not emerge from the dreams of surrealists, or the work of
subconsciousness. It is a game of imagination, where all ties are
carefully chosen to construct a literary plot. Any one of Cheval’s
paintings is a map of his journey into illusion. His work is often
metaphorical and requires a sharp eye to decipher the often hidden
allusions.
