“The Bed, the Chair, Waiting” is an artwork created by Eric Fischl in the year 2000. The medium of the artwork is oil on linen, and it belongs to the art movement of Contemporary Realism. The genre of this piece is classified as interior, and it is part of the series titled “The Bed, the Chair.”
In the artwork, a room is depicted with a bed in the background and a single chair in the foreground. The chair features a vibrant, red pattern, contrasting with the more subdued tones of the surrounding furniture and walls. A solitary figure is seen contorted on the chair in a somewhat vulnerable position. To the left, a dog sits attentively, perhaps indicative of a sense of companionship or alertness. Balloon-like objects float near the ceiling, adding a whimsical touch to the otherwise introspective ambiance of the scene. The lighting and colors evoke a surreal, almost cinematic quality, emphasizing the underlying tension and emotion within the space.
