Battle at Sunset with the God of Maize (Composition No. 1)

'Battle at Sunset with the God of Maize (Composition No. 1)' is a striking example of a Surrealist symbolic painting. The scene is painted on a canvas using thick, impactful strokes of oil paint. The mood is dynamic and intense, depicting a mythical battle against the backdrop of a vivid sunset. The central figure, representing the God of Maize, is oddly distorted in a manner characteristic of surrealism, and crafted from wood. This piece is an exploration of the subconscious mind, utilising symbolism to convey deeper meanings beneath the aesthetic surface.
