This painting by Angelo Accardi masterfully blends the real with the surreal, immersing the viewer in a modern metropolis with a dreamlike character. The urban setting, probably inspired by New York, is rendered with a cold colour palette, dominated by deep grey and blue tones, which emphasise the almost cinematic atmosphere of the scene.
What catches the eye is the unexpected element: a large ostrich with soft, shaded feathers, dyed a bright red that contrasts with the architectural rigour of the city. Its body seems to dissolve between vibrant brushstrokes and splashes of colour, suggesting an almost evanescent presence, as if it were an elusive vision, a metropolitan hallucination.
The human figure at the centre of the painting, immersed in traffic and city chaos, appears oblivious to the surreal creature beside him. This contrast between urban everyday life and the fantastical insert is a distinctive feature of Accardi's style, which plays with the concept of ‘misplaced’, placing elements out of context to stimulate the viewer's perception and imagination.
The paint drips and graphic marks that furrow the canvas add further dynamism, evoking a city in constant movement, where reality seems liquid and changeable. The work, made with oil on canvas, combines a traditional painting technique with a contemporary visual language, transforming the urban scene into a unique visual experience, suspended between dream and reality.
