The Philosopher's Chessboard - 1/1 by Liapsart

A 1/1 by @liapsart, her first commission on Tendre. A philosopher deep in thought over a chessboard, the game unfinished. The board runs away to a low horizon the way the checkered floor does in Thalia, and the squares bend, soften and swim as they go, slightly out of true, so the geometry reads as a thought rather than a floor. Something of Dalí in the space around it: long raking shadows, and time behaving as loosely as the squares. Colour from Synthrealism: poured blues and crimson against gold and deep black, control and chaos in the same frame. How much of the board stays solid is up to the artist, so long as it still reads as a chessboard: eight squares to a side.
