Artwork Description:
An avid student of Freud's psychoanalytic theories, Chiao found resonance with their insights. By incorporating the concept of 'repetition compulsion' into his work, he seeks to explore how recurring patterns shape human behavior and desire. In this monumental composition, four women are erotically entwined, their bodies forming a rhythmic tableau reminiscent of a bed. The canvas, suffused with Klimt-like warmth and orange hues, orchestrates desire and form into a single visual cadence.
