Tricksters

The center of the composition is a fish tank placed on a kind of box and painted with beautiful spatial intention. Inside, two creatures, which ostensibly are goldfish, but which bear a resemblance to small, scarlet seals, navigating water resembling the sea. Around them are piles of white balls. The white balls are evidently the work of the amusing magician with the crazy hat holding a ball with one hand and with the other wielding a megaphone to announce his number. On the left, the woman, the enchantress with busty but grotesque beauty, opens her eyes and presses her lipstick-drawn lips. Higher up, a child completes the scene by lifting two balls. The possibility of what could happen is unknown, especially because everything takes place inside a park with a geometric green in which animated seedlings emerge. It is an almost miraculous creation, of Chagallian intensity, which suspends the love of true illusion, that of the painter.
