Cubo-surrealist painting, mixed technique on paper

Cubo-surrealist painting, signed and dated "David 1974" Mixed media on paper (watercolor, gouache, and ink), framed under glass. Dimensions: 45 × 60 cm. Perfect condition. This work depicts a dreamlike scene, where hybrid characters with distorted faces intersect, in a fragmented architectural universe. The treatment of geometric shapes and colored flat tints is part of an aesthetic close to late cubism, while the grotesque figures and strange narration recall the world of Belgian surrealism of the 1960s and 1970s. The signature "David", accompanied by the year 74, remains difficult to attribute precisely. Two letters seem to follow the name but remain illegible, making the formal identification of the artist uncertain. However, the style and period allow us to compare this work to the production of Belgian artists active in the 1970s, influenced by Magritte and Delvaux, but also by contemporary graphic design. Among the plausible stylistic parallels, one could cite painters from the Belgian surrealist circle (such as Leo Dohmen, Jean Ransy) whose compositions combined distorted figuration and surrealist narrative. Thus, although the exact author is not confirmed, the work is fully in line with the Belgian cubo-surrealist movement of the 1970s, a period rich in graphic experimentation.
