About the Item
Imperator. Canis, 2003
Acrylic on canvas
84.25 H x 156.69 W in.
214 H x 398 W cm
Alexandru Rădvan is known for his large works in which he examines ancient myths and mythologies through a contemporary approach.
His works often have references in literature. Metaphorically, the artwork reflects the decadence of the old empires.
The human body is an analogy to the impressive sculptures from the old empires that collapse. The dogs could have two symbolical meanings: the dog is considered to be the best friend of man or the dog are the political enemies that erode the state power.
