Dream objects: Meret's teapot
This work is a nod and homage to the surrealist artist Meret Oppenheim (1913 – 1985), who created the work entitled “Le déjeuner en fourrure” in 1936.
Manufactured objects and assemblages are a common practice of the surrealists. Oppenheim draws inspiration from them for Lunch in fur. It is indeed a cup, its saucer and a small spoon covered with gazelle fur. The cup is hidden, we can only guess at it. The artist questions the initial usefulness of everyday objects. On the other hand, it also appeals to the senses. The work makes us want to be touched and drinking from this cup would be a new and unpleasant experience. Lunch in fur has a sensual aspect.
