“Time Breaker” by Jacek Yerka, belonging to the surrealism art movement, is a symbolic painting characterized by its thought-provoking and intricate details. The artwork presents a massive brick structure with a large, cogwheel-like timepiece emerging from its base, partially submerged in a flowing river. The top of the structure is adorned with lush green trees, which introduces a blend of nature and human-made elements. Around the structure, scattered remnants of what appear to be surreal, deconstructed objects, such as fragmented machinery and whimsical figures, populate the barren, yellowish ground beneath a sky tinged with hues of pink and orange. The overall composition engages viewers in a surreal narrative, meticulously balancing the natural with the artificial within a dreamlike environment, in typical Yerka fashion.
