The artwork titled “Chronozaurus” is a creation by the artist Jacek Yerka, produced in the year 2004 in Poland. It belongs to the Surrealism art movement and falls under the genre of animal painting.
In the artwork, a fantastical creature resembling a chameleon with insect wings is prominently featured. The body of the creature is ingeniously depicted as a clock with a detailed face, complete with Roman numerals and intricately designed clock hands. The creature’s texture is lifelike, with scalar and reptilian features, and it stands on all fours, showcasing its detailed limbs and a spiral-curled tail. To complete this surreal composition, the creature’s head is turned to the side, gripping a magnifying glass in its mouth, adding an element of curiosity and examination. The combination of organic and mechanical elements within the animal form exemplifies Yerka’s characteristic imaginative and surreal style.
