Max Ernst's perspective on art as a revelation of hidden truths resonates in the winning piece of Surreal Salon 17. Amber Hart's 'Seating For Six' presents a mid-century dining room set for a party without guests, highlighting a surreal commentary on the emptiness behind social rituals. It evokes feelings of loneliness and a critique of our desire for public validation of private moments. The artwork captures the malleability of normal life amidst tumultuous times, prompting reflections on intimacy and the audience’s gaze.
Art is the revelation of nature's darkest secrets, those that remain hidden beneath the everyday appearance.
The work depicts a mid-century modern dining room with a dinner table immaculately set for a party, with the peculiar element that there were no guests.
