This vintage 1979 exhibition poster showcases the work of Alicia, an artist whose distinct mid-century Surrealist style elements are reminiscent of metaphysical and naive art movements.

The focal artwork depicts a highly stylised, dreamlike narrative scene set against a striking red and white checkered terrace floor. Three enigmatic figures dressed in formal, clerical black robes with crisp white collars look outward with elongated, mask-like faces. Below them, a framed portrait of a stern-looking man anchors the composition, while a minimalist rolling landscape under a dark sky unfolds in the background, complete with sparse trees and a floating kite. This heavy use of geometric contrast, disproportionate scale, and symbolic imagery highlights a characteristically European avant-garde approach to storytelling.

The poster was produced for a solo exhibition titled "ALICIA", which ran from December 4 to December 29, 1979. It was hosted at the historic Galerie Claude Hemery, located at 3, place du Marché Sainte-Catherine in the culturally rich 4th arrondissement of Paris. This gallery was an active fixture in the contemporary French art scene during the late 20th century. This piece has an attribution mark,
