Title: On the Wings of Fall Artist: Michael Cheval (Master of Absurdism)
Description:
In “On the Wings of Fall,” Michael Cheval offers a whimsical personification of the changing seasons. True to his signature Absurdist style, he blends historical elegance with mechanical anachronism to depict Autumn not as a drifting wind, but as a determined muse arriving on two wheels.
The painting features a striking figure dressed in voluminous, copper-colored Renaissance attire, her wild red curls mirroring the fiery hues of the season. In a witty twist typical of Cheval, she rides a vintage bicycle directly toward the viewer, suggesting that time and seasons march (or pedal) forward with unstoppable momentum. She emerges from a tunnel of twisted blue branches that arch upward behind her, creating the visual illusion of “wings”—a clever nod to the title.
The composition is a masterclass in complementary colors. The cold, deep blues of the background tunnel contrast sharply with the warmth of the foreground, where a carpet of golden maple leaves heralds her arrival. She is the herald of the harvest, steering the world out of the shadows and into the golden glow of Fall.
