About Not far from the sun, the moon and the stars

“Not far from the sun, the moon and the stars,” created by Jean Arp, is an abstract artwork belonging to the Surrealism art movement. The artwork encapsulates the genre of abstract art with its unique and non-representational forms, guiding the viewer into an imaginative contemplation.

The artwork prominently features an orange circular form that serves as the central focal point, possibly symbolizing a celestial body such as the sun. Hovering above this circle are amorphous black shapes, which appear to be fluid and organic in nature. These shapes possess a freeform quality that evokes movement and spontaneity, which are characteristic elements of Surrealist and abstract art. The background of the artwork is composed of gentle gradations of blue, suggesting a vast, open sky or cosmic expanse. This combination of elements creates a striking visual contrast and imbues the piece with a sense of depth and surreal otherworldliness.
