THE DEATH OF RAVE ( Walpurgisnacht) 48 x 60 inches, Oil on Canvas, 2012
THE DEATH OF RAVE depicts three witches summoning Mephistopheles during the festival of Walpurgisnacht. Bathed in an unearthly light with fires of ritual burning about them, they summon the Demon-Muse in ecstatic fury. These three graces of the underworld demand an audience with the demon in order to unchain the inhibitions of the mortal soul, they are manifestations of the Freudian Pleasure Principle, and the supreme defenders of the Eternal Feminine.
