About the Item

This painting of L. Rise captures the essence of the circus with its bold and vibrant colors, geometrical structure of a circus tent, evoking a sense of childlike wonder and excitement. One can notice that the oil is shaped as if it was a collage with simple forms. The thick texture of the painting coupled with the smooth and polish finish on the surface bring out a feeling of sturdiness combined with great finesse. The circus has served as a fertile ground of inspiration for artists across generations. Its dynamic body language and innovative motion have inspired creative exploration for avant-garde poets, novelists, and visual artists. Through its captivating performances, the circus remains a platform for artists to unleash their imagination and creativity, paving the way for new and exciting forms of artistic expression. As in many works of art, there are several readings and receptions of an image. One approach to viewing the circus is through two dimensions: the symbolic and the dreamlike projection. Here, the circus, highlighted by its red and yellow hues, has historically occupied a peripheral position, serving as a space where Modern and Western society could come to terms with its anxieties, explore its identity, and challenge its norms.
