Games and Rescue on the Beach

Games and Rescue on the Beach

surrealism; games; rescue; lifeguard; beach

In highly stylized and abstracted forms, the painting depicts a scene of playing and rescuing on the beach. On the left, three figures are playing games and having fun at the beach. On the right, however, is an ongoing rescue. The highly saturated colors and the juxtaposition of pleasure and crisis bring an unsettling feeling to the scene.
