“Boukoko Triptyque,” created by the artist Dado in 1975, is a surrealist, figurative artwork. This measured composition is a triptych, consisting of three panels that together form a coherent and profound piece of art within the Surrealist movement.
In the artwork, a cold and chaotic atmosphere prevails, filled with distorted forms and grotesque figures. The central panel dominates the composition with an amalgamation of twisted, humanoid shapes and organic elements. They seem to be entwined and morphed together, creating a disturbing yet fascinating focal point. The panels to the left and right similarly feature deformed and unsettling figures, adding to the overall feeling of alienation and confusion. The backdrop, painted with a cool, almost industrial palette, reinforces the theme of desolation. Detailed line work and a spectrum of blues and grays pervade the triptych, conveying a haunting and otherworldly mood typical of Surrealist art.
