Mammoth Tusk Chess "Pride and Lust"

This is one of the most philosophical chess sets. It is based on the ideas of surrealism, an artistic movement that took shape in 1924 and literally turned over previous ideas about art. Surrealism offered the viewer unrecognizable objects: they are a materialized flash of fantasy, disordered visions that arise on the verge of sleep and awakening. This is not the highest degree of realism, but a kind of "higher reality", and the artist is an intermediary between it and the ordinary. As soon as surrealism declared itself, it was immediately compared to a game that was fascinating and intriguing, striving to free a person from the bonds of rationality. We suggest that you play a game according to these rules.

The board for the set is designed in the form of a brick wall with a barred window, and the gray and yellow cells evoke thoughts of the human brain. This is the allegorical prison in which human vices often hold virtues and suppress beautiful impulses. Let this set, designed in the spirit of the surreal aesthetics of the ugly, make us think about our own lives more often and encourage us to change for the better.
