Ladies Snakes

This oil painting presents a surreal still life, featuring an elaborate gilded vessel, a wine glass, and fruit arranged on a draped table, set against a dark background. Above the scene, several winged female figures, some nude, are depicted as kites being manipulated by tiny figures below.

Dmytro Kavsan's "Ladies Snakes" is a captivating example of Transavantgarde, a movement that brought figuration and rich narrative back to art in the late 20th century. This painting playfully juxtaposes classical still life elements with a fantastical, almost mythological scene of winged women controlled like kites, perhaps a commentary on human manipulation or the delicate balance between reality and imagination. The blend of the mundane and the magical creates a dreamlike atmosphere, inviting viewers into a world where everyday objects harbor extraordinary stories.
