“Low Cost Air Lines,” created by Jacek Yerka in 2011, is an acrylic painting on canvas belonging to the Surrealism art movement and falls under the genre of landscape. The artwork showcases Yerka’s unique ability to blend whimsical imagination with intricate detail.
The artwork depicts a fantastical scene where a large rock formation, resembling the structure of an airplane engine, is laden with detailed and bustling cityscapes. The rocky ‘airplane’ appears to glide over a vast, serene ocean, juxtaposing the urban sprawl atop a natural wonder. The city is characterized by an assortment of buildings with varying architectural styles and red-roofed houses, enveloped in green vegetation. In the background, the collision of sky and natural elements creates an ethereal contrast, while the stone structure seamlessly morphs into what resembles a jet engine at the rear. All these elements coalesce to form a surrealistic and thought-provoking landscape.
