![„God can’t really control us”
114x146cm
Acrylic and oil on canvas, gold leaf
2021
Painting was entanglement of inspiration from Manet’s painting “Déjeune sur l’herbe” and ancient festivals of Bacchus- Bacchanalia.
Once the Bacchanalia had become popular, the Roman Senate considered them a threat, believing it was designed to rebel against their political views, thus they wanted to suppress the mystery cult to avoid any kind of rebellion against the Senate […]Like all mystery cults, the Bacchanalia were held in strict privacy. The first was celebrated by the public, which brought attention to dramatic plays - either tragedy or Satyr-comedic play. The second belonging to the sexual frenzy and unpolitical cult, which focuses on the release of the sexual tension among people to appease their desires to feel connected to Bacchus. [source- Wikipedia]
While Bacchanalia were without a doubt a dramatic and dynamic situation, my painting depicts three women who’d rather prefer to stay away from a raving crowd of drunk and naked bodies. It’s clear they prefer the company of wild animals as well and enjoying company of themselves while drinking stolen wine.
Second picture: “Bacchanalia” Peter Paul Rubens
