"Lady Legs" is the second oldest still existing painting by Mohamed Hamida. It is relatively small, only 21 x 31 cms, but considered among the best paintings ever by this artist.
This is what Mohamed Hamida calls SURREAL POINTILLISM
Surreal Pointillism, the name is derived from Pointillism in general. One of the defining characteristics of surrealism is its penchant for distorting the familiar, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. In surrealistic paintings, viewers are frequently confronted with images that defy the laws of nature and logic. Limbs may twist and contort in impossible ways, objects may morph into one another seamlessly, and landscapes may defy all sense of scale and perspective.
In this painting, by disrupting the cohesive unity of the female form, the artist challenges conventional notions of beauty and feminity, inviting us to embrace the diversity and complexity of the human experience. In essence, the portrayal of a lady's fragmented body parts in a surrealistic painting transcends mere aestheticism, serving as a powerful exploration of identity, agency and the intricacies of the human condition.
