Belgian surrealism, Men in the Desert - Poster

A surreal desert reverie. A solitary figure sporting a bowler hat gazes out towards an endless horizon, while pale spheres drift upwards through a sky dotted with sculpted clouds. The warm hues of sand ground the scene, with mesas resting low on the skyline, and the dark outline of the coat providing balance to the composition. Our intention was to evoke a sense of quiet tension alongside a hint of enigma that reveals itself anew each time you glance its way.
