“Targets Revisited,” created by Samuel Bak in 1996, is a surrealist landscape artwork imbued with a sense of desolation and contemplation. The artist employs a surrealistic approach to convey complex themes and emotions through this intricate depiction of a fragmented and chaotic landscape.
In the artwork, remnants of a once-structured environment are now in disarray, with decaying buildings and scattered debris dominating the scene. The background features a forlorn landscape, filled with distant mountains and a vast, somber sky, adding to the overall bleak and contemplative atmosphere. Among the rubble, there are abstract elements and human-like figures, suggesting deeper allegories and symbolic meanings. The interplay of light and shadow, as well as the meticulous detailing of textures, further enhances the surreal and haunting quality of the piece.
