2024. Prelimbus, the centerpiece of Art Lot 001, invites the viewer into a space just before Limbo, the gateway to the first circle of the underworld. The scene is filled with wandering souls suspended among a maze of abstract shapes, lines, and symbols. There’s a clear sense of absurdity in how these figures occupy the space—detached and out of sync with their surroundings, yet still part of this strange, chaotic order.
Their exaggerated forms blend into the backdrop, giving the piece a surreal, almost dreamlike quality. The contrast between their stillness and the disorder of the environment creates a tension that draws the viewer in.
Bold, contrasting colors define the composition, highlighting the interaction between the figures and the fractured landscape. The combination of smooth gradients and sharp, jagged textures adds depth, pulling the eye across the canvas and revealing new details with each glance.
