The artwork titled “Green Room” was created in 1997 by Polish artist Jacek Yerka and belongs to the Surrealism art movement. It depicts an interior genre scene with a setting that defies conventional boundaries.
In the artwork, a collection of typical household furniture, including a bed, a desk, and a chair, exists in a forest clearing. The surrounding trees possess twisted, almost anthropomorphic forms, and the flooring suggests the carpeted moss of a woodland floor. A window in the midst of this surreal room opens to an expansive, serene landscape, contrasting with the dense, enclosed forest. A white cat sleeps soundly on the forest floor that doubles as the room’s carpet, blending domestic comfort with untamed nature. This juxtaposition epitomizes Yerka’s unique surrealist style and his ability to merge the familiar with the fantastical.
