La Chèvre et son Chou

Goat in crimson coat, her love called "mon chou" stands still, green blooms laugh between.

A surreal portrait of a goat-headed woman in a vivid red coat alongside a solemn man in a matching hat, set against a luminous green backdrop with red blossoms. Both ironic and tender, the painting balances classic gravity with Pop vitality, humor, and layered French wordplay.

Artistic Statement: This work bridges surrealism and Pop classicism, blending Magritte’s dreamlike irony with Warhol’s flat iconic boldness. The title fuses proverb and pun, echoing both impossible balance and romantic intimacy. Its wit and ambiguity recall the French surrealists’ embrace of language as artistic material, turning an image into a living riddle.

Influencing Artists: Magritte, Otto Dix, Grant Wood, Andy Warhol, Leonora Carrington
