Gozo
Surreal Desert Painting with Dog and Sculptural Heads on Framed Fabriano Paper

2024

About the Item

This surrealist desert painting by Gozo, titled Desert Lost Heads, is an original acrylic artwork on Fabriano 400gsm paper. Measuring 70 x 50 cm, it presents a striking dreamscape where a solitary dog wanders through a barren landscape dotted with disembodied sculptural heads in vivid colors. The composition fuses surrealist atmosphere with symbolic imagery, conjuring a meditative vision of time, memory, and quiet estrangement. Rendered in carefully modulated hues of ochre, blue, and terracotta, this surrealist painting plays with scale and space to evoke a sense of isolation and enigmatic calm. The recurring motif of the dog functions as both guide and witness, moving silently among these colorful vestiges of vanished presences. In a recent revision, the artist has incorporated a bespoke wooden frame, carefully painted and conceived as an integral part of the artwork. This added element expands the narrative by reinforcing the pictorial atmosphere and creating a coherent, unified visual language. The frame is not just a display accessory—it functions as a sculptural extension of the piece itself, blurring the boundary between artwork and object. Maintaining its original price, this update enhances the artwork’s presence and conceptual coherence without additional cost. Executed in acrylic on high-quality paper, the painting highlights Gozo’s distinctive fusion of surrealism and emotional abstraction. The result is a visually rich, thought-provoking piece that balances quiet melancholy with playful ambiguity. Created in 2024 by Gozo Collective—a group of contemporary artists working collaboratively from the Galician Atlantic Coast—this work reflects their shared ethos of storytelling through shared authorship, imagination, and symbolic disruption. Their paintings often use post-human themes and light surrealism to invite reflection on personal and collective myths.
