Artist Margaret Curtis's paintings have super readable content, full composition, he takes daily life as the head, points the brush at them, people, things, families, various scenes, he cleverly connects this element, with an expressionist technique to show the artist's attitude towards life and the relationship between the surrounding environment and people, his picture exudes absurdity beyond reality, with a certain paradox, for example, in the work "Ice Sculpture", a family of four is busy doing housework, The scene where the mother tries her best to prevent the ice sculpture from melting with a fan, while the little girl sitting on the ground approaches the ice sculpture with a lit match, is obviously absurd and full of contradictions, and the artist's depiction of such scenes is actually intended to express that our lives are always contradictory and reveal the absurd nature.
