wAlls In dAlI, by Suzette Richards (18/10/2024)

A re-imagined collage of the paintings Mad Tristan and Nostalgic Echo, by Salvador Dali. The original art works are copyrighted.

A notional ekphrasis in Suzette Prime.

The title is a pun on AI as the image was AI-generated.

Psychology was originally a subset of philosophy—gaining recognition in its own right by the efforts of Sigmund Freud.

A number of specific techniques were devised by the Surrealists to evoke psychic responses. Among these were frottage (rubbing with graphite over wood or other grained substances) and grattage (scraping the canvas)—both developed by Ernst to produce partial images, which were to be completed in the mind of the viewer.

 


 

the origin of my life a frottage friction giving rise to the template the grattage image to be completed in the mind of the viewer women are often invisible at best compartmentalised by Man a notional ekphrasis but they make their presence known they’re a work of art crowding in on the subconscious labyrinth of walls built by mankind over eons to keep out that which they fear colouring the walls yellow it is a Freudian slip by that subliminally acknowledging that it is mentally activating psychologically stimulating higher cognition, intuition creativity and feelings of optimism all attributes of Woman having escaped confines of cultural mores I do not go with the flow but will often lead the pack

Thanks, Maria. I thought that the vocabulary suited the subject of the painting: surrealism. Yes, words fascinate me :)
