The Cage in the Head | A Surrealist Alice
Sold
'The Cage in the Head' is a surrealist Alice: a woman with pink hair and a white lace collar, in a blue dress, wearing a black top hat that carries a gilded birdcage with a clock and two birds, one pink and one blue. The background blooms with roses, circles and patches of color, but the figure's grey-green gaze is serious and sharp. The cage is not on the head but inside it: the thoughts that circle, the time that ticks, the birds that sit instead of flying. A colorful fantasy with psychological depth. Painted in the studio in 2026, 70 × 100 cm, oil on canvas, signed with a certificate of authenticity. The painting has been sold and is kept here as part of Eliran Bar-On's archive. A surrealist portrait in a similar spirit can be commissioned.
