The playful presence of the subconscious is always present in the art of Jon Jaylo, perhaps, is the artist of today’s generation who most insisted on the magical side of surrealism. That is why this picture gives an impression of the uncertainty of perceived reality in its precision and stillness, with movement perceptible in what looks like a dirigible. The boys’ bowler hat confirms the prewar context of the floating air vehicle. This is a vivid evocation of the way in which the elements in Jaylo’s imaginarium are emblematic of the quirks of the subconscious.
