Andrée Bars“Merry-Go-Round”, Carousel Astrolabe Univers&Humanity Symbolist Oil Painting
About the Item
Titled "Merry-Go-Round," this symbolist oil painting offers a surreal blend of time, space, and childhood nostalgia. The focal point of the composition is a complex armillary sphere, traditionally used to represent the celestial globe, now transformed into a whimsical carousel.
Around the armillary sphere, wooden carousel horses are depicted in mid-gallop, their colorful saddles and bridles adding a vibrant contrast to the metallic gold of the armillary rings. These horses appear to be floating in space, unbound by gravity, evoking a dreamlike quality that invites the viewer into a fantastical world where time and space intermingle.
The background features a planetary system with various planets orbiting in elliptical paths, further enhancing the sense of cosmic wonder. A clock integrated into the armillary sphere signifies the passage of time, its Roman numerals and clock hands lending an air of timelessness and continuity.
The torn edges of the painting frame add to the surreal atmosphere, giving the impression that this magical scene transcends the boundaries of the canvas and extends into infinity. The use of light and shadow creates a dynamic interplay, adding depth and movement to the already lively composition.
"Merry-Go-Round" is a captivating fusion of astronomy, mythology, and childhood innocence. It invites viewers to ponder the nature of time and space while simultaneously evoking the joy and freedom of a carousel ride. The painting is a testament to the artist's imagination and technical skill, seamlessly blending realism with fantastical elements to create a truly enchanting work of art.
Titled "Merry-go-round", this symbolist oil painting on canvas by Andrée Bars comes not framed.
Andrée Bars is a French painter. Having been strictly trained for 4 years by the American hyper-realist painter Mr. Ted Seth Jacobs, who himself inherited 19th century masters’ skills from his own professor, Andrée Bars learned the profession of painting in its purest tradition. She still applies these ancient masters’ technics on her art. Each painting contains at least three layers of oil paint. Andrée Bars applies her skills to hyper-realism on surrealist ideas.
Although her paintings copy the reality to the extreme, they can not be qualified in a simple term of hyperrealism nor of trompe-l’oeil style, her artworks distinguish themselves for a kind of mysterious sweetness they convey to the spectator.

"Delirium of Lace", White Lingerie Fabric with Pattern Symboliste Oil Painting
By Andrée Bars
Located in Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
Titled "Delirium of Lace," this symboliste oil painting by Andrée Bars presents a delicate still life. The composition centers around intricately arranged white lace lingerie, meticulously pinned with wooden clothespins. The translucent fabric and detailed texture of the lace are masterfully depicted, evoking a sense of lightness and fragility.
The background features a soft, floral-patterned drapery that enhances the overall romantic and vintage ambiance of the scene. The artist's use of light and shadow brings depth and realism to the folds of the fabric, creating an almost tactile experience for the viewer. The white soap blocks, upon which the clothespins rest, add a grounding element to the composition, juxtaposing the ethereal quality of the lace with their solid, geometric form.
The painting is a harmonious blend of everyday objects and surreal arrangement, inviting the viewer to explore the intricate details and the playful yet serene atmosphere. This work speaks to themes of femininity, domesticity, and the beauty found in the mundane, all rendered with a meticulous and delicate hand.
