The artwork titled “The snow is not permitted,” created by Jacek Yerka in 1991, originates from Poland. It belongs to the Surrealism art movement and falls within the cityscape genre.
The artwork showcases a surreal scene where part of a brick building seems to merge seamlessly with an open, wintery landscape blanketed in snow. The composition juxtaposes the cold, snowy exterior with the warm, inviting interior of the building. The room, exposed to the elements due to its incomplete structure, is meticulously detailed, displaying various objects and furniture that evoke a sense of coziness and domesticity. The exterior, dominated by snow-laden trees and a dark, cloudy sky, sharply contrasts with the light and intimacy of the interior space, creating an image rich in visual intrigue and narrative possibilities.
