Title: Imagine II Artist: Michael Cheval (Master of Absurdism)

Description:

In “Imagine II,” Michael Cheval invites the viewer to a private performance where the boundaries between music, magic, and reality dissolve. A stunning example of his signature “Absurdism,” this piece presents a scene that feels like a lucid dream—logically impossible, yet visually hyper-realistic.

The central figure is a mystical conductor or magician, dressed in Renaissance-style garb. He wears a peculiar hat resembling a mechanical grinder, suggesting that he is “processing” reality to create something new. With intense focus, he levitates a female muse who floats horizontally across his lap. She is not just holding a violin; she seems to be the music itself, her body stiff and weightless like a classic magician’s assistant, draped in a zebra-striped gown that adds a graphic, surrealist touch to the organic setting.

The setting is equally enchanting: a mosaic tile “stage” hidden deep within a dark, tangled forest. Cheval rewards the observant viewer with hidden details, such as the basket of strawberries in the foreground (symbolizing the sweet fruits of imagination) and a mysterious, wooden face emerging from the tree trunk on the right, quietly watching the performance.
