Subject

Stylized Composition with Archways and Staircases

Description

Again Al-Tai has created a surrealistic composition by placing a maze of architectural elements, archways and staircases, within an undefined space. This ambiguity creates a dreamscape in which the viewer, or dreamer, decides where the staircases lead.Each element has been overlapped into the whole through the use of angular lines. The composition is rendered in neutral tones with the blending of color becoming more prominent in the background.
