A pair of trussed white pumps are served on a silver plate. The heels are adorned with white paper ruffles of the kind formerly used for chicken or lamb chops at fancy dinners.

In surrealist works such as this, objects that don’t “belong together” are often combined, like in dreams. The surrealists were interested in dreams, sexuality and urges, influenced by Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis, which was new at the time. Shoes can also be seen as a fetish, an ordinary object that is charged with sexual meaning.

From the artist:

[This is] A cover for a short graphic novel I'm creating.

It's psychedelic, it observers existence from the lens of psilocybin trips.

It's a passion project I have started 3 years ago.

Every trip I add a scribble, I write the shapes I see, their conclusions- and then edit.

"What You see Might Not Be Real," by Chen Wenling depicts the Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff as a devil, horns and all.

The bull, which represents Wall Street, is farting because in Chinese "放屁" (fang pi) literally means to fart, but in slang means to bluff or lie.

The Catalan visionary Joan Miró created a quintessential surrealist object when he joined together a pirate's bizarre hoard, including a parrot, a woman's stockinged leg, a map, a hat and a swinging ball.

The sculpture is composed of 98 humanoid figures, meticulously arranged in a towering column that reaches towards the sky. Each figure covers the eyes of the one beneath it, forming a seemingly endless ladder that ascends upward.

Though the sculpture stands only 7 meters (approximately 23 feet) tall, it creates the illusion of stretching infinitely. As the figures climb, they gradually diminish in size, and the tower subtly tilts, enhancing the impression that the tower extends far beyond its actual height.
