Title not known (Al-Tai 2)

Subject

Dreamscape with Hazy Figure on Rocky Terrain

Description

This composition by Al-Tai has a dreamlike quality as the main figure appears in an ambiguous haze. The figure is set against a rocky backdrop climbing over jagged boulders. Just before reaching a solid mountain wall, the figure looks back to an unknown object outside of the picture plane. The color palette of the work adds to it surreal nature as the natural tones of the rocks are bathed in an eerie greenish glow emanating from the background.
