“Horizons chauds,” a surrealist oil painting by Wifredo Lam, was created circa 1968 and measures 97 by 130 cm. The artwork falls under the figurative genre and exemplifies the surrealist movement that Lam is renowned for.
In the artwork, one can observe an eclectic amalgamation of abstract forms and figures, seemingly interwoven in a chaotic yet harmonious dance. The color palette is rich and warm, dominated by deep earthy tones and punctuated by bright, vivid highlights. The figures are elongated and angular, with sharp lines and geometric shapes that intertwine, creating a sense of dynamic movement. The composition is both complex and compelling, drawing the viewer into a mystical world that blurs the lines between the real and the imaginary.
