This is the next artwork of a serie I have started with the "Somewhere In The Pub" artwork posted here lately. As before the intent was to be as less intentional as possible and compose the artwork by the "rules" of surrealist automatism. It refers to the old surreal drawing techniques became known first in the beginning of 20th century (remember psychoanalysis of Sigmund Freud, manifesto by Andre Breton, drawings by Max Ernst). However the formal aesthetics is more cubist than surreal, but it depends on the process emerging from my deepest mind, so it is not connected to old cubism in theory. It would be interesting to ask what role plays the artist's education in this process and whether it is ever possible to achieve the mind uncontrolled creative process absolutely.
