“The Moonlight Bed” is a surrealist artwork created by Jacek Yerka in 2002 in Poland. The piece, executed using pastel on paper, measures 47.3 x 59 cm and falls within the interior genre. The artwork encapsulates the essence of the surrealism art movement, merging everyday scenes with fantastical elements.
The artwork presents an intriguing and whimsical composition that juxtaposes a domestic interior scene against an outdoor setting. It depicts a bed, complete with pillows and a blanket, positioned in a lush, moonlit garden. The bed is adjacent to a table with various objects, including a bottle, a bowl of fruit, and a small container, adding to the dreamlike quality. A lamp, a telephone, and a stack of books by the bedside further contribute to the surreal fusion of indoor and outdoor elements. The surrounding foliage and distant lamp post bathed in moonlight enhance the enchanting and magical atmosphere of the scene. The meticulous attention to detail and the harmonious blend of reality with fantasy are hallmark characteristics of Jacek Yerka’s work.
