Pochoir/stencil on paper; signed - unique work // Dancing Gate by Allen Jones, a mixed-media work from 1993, combines pochoir (stencil) techniques with soft, abstract forms that evoke movement and intimacy. The composition features two semi-abstracted human figures rendered in warm, earthy tones of red and orange, enclosed within a gate-like frame that seems to capture them mid-dance. The hazy, diffused edges give the figures a ghostly appearance, as though they are caught in a fleeting moment or memory. This framing device and the organic forms within create a sense of both separation and connection, as if the figures are simultaneously bound and liberated within their space. The work’s gradient background adds depth, emphasizing the ephemeral nature of the scene. Signed by Jones, Dancing Gate is a unique exploration of form, movement, and the boundaries between figures and their environment.

What is Surrealism?
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
