Solar Jump (2022)Oil painting by Lina Redford

Special creation for Chinese new year.
Lina’s take on Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening by Salvador Dali (1944)
⠀
This is Lina’s favourite painting of Salvador Dalí, that can found at the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid.
⠀
Painting represents the influence of Freud on Dalí’s art and here it is an explanation that Dalí himself gave about his painting:
⠀
“[It was intended] to express for the first time in images Freud’s discovery of the typical dream with a lengthy narrative, the consequence of the instantaneousness of a chance event which causes the sleeper to wake up. Thus, as a bar might fall on the neck of a sleeping person, causing them to wake up and for a long dream to end with the guillotine blade falling on them, the noise of the bee here provokes the sensation of the sting which will awaken Gala.”
