Cupid in Flight Oil Painting Surreal Romantic Fantasy Cherub Angel Artwork Artist: Chacón Title: Cupid in Flight Date: 1995 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 46 × 55 cm / 18.11 × 21.65 in Framing: Unframed Signature: Signed lower right and signed again verso “Chacón, Barna 95” Condition: Very good overall condition with vivid colors and stable pictorial surface. Minor signs of age consistent with time. Description Striking surreal-romantic oil painting depicting Cupid in full flight across a dreamlike celestial atmosphere, executed with remarkable technical precision and theatrical visual impact. The composition captures the mythological figure mid-air, bow drawn and ready to fire, suspended within a luminous cloudscape rendered in soft blues, mauves and iridescent tonal transitions. The artist combines classical iconography with a distinctly late-20th-century fantasy aesthetic, creating a work that feels simultaneously Baroque, cinematic and decorative. The painting possesses strong wall presence thanks to the dramatic movement of the figure, the polished modeling of the anatomy and the glowing atmospheric background. The wings, treated with warm reds and deep emerald tones, introduce a vibrant chromatic contrast that enhances the sensation of movement and fantasy. Executed in Barcelona in 1995, as confirmed on the reverse inscription (“Barna, 95”), the work reflects the revival of romantic and mythological imagery that became increasingly collectible in decorative art and figurative interiors during the late 20th century. Its refined execution and instantly recognizable subject make it especially appealing for collectors seeking: Mythological and allegorical paintings Romantic interior decoration Surreal and fantasy-inspired artworks Cherub and angel iconography Decorative Mediterranean figurative painting Hollywood Regency and eclectic interiors Statement pieces for luxury interiors The painting works particularly well in classic, maximalist or eclectic spaces, where its theatrical atmosphere creates the effect of a small airborne opera performed by a dangerously confident baby with a weapon. Renaissance mythology meets perfume-advertisement drama. 🪽🎯 Artistic Context / inspiración pictórica This work evokes elements associated with Romantic academic painting, Italian Baroque illusionism and late 20th-century fantasy realism. Its visual language recalls decorative mythological compositions inspired by artists such as François Boucher, Guido Reni and certain contemporary European fantasy painters focused on celestial allegory and idealized figurative imagery. The soft sfumato background and floating composition also connect with surreal dream imagery and decorative neo-baroque aesthetics popular in refined European interiors during the 1980s and 1990s. mythological painting, cupid painting...

"Entering the Bus" Expressionist Figurative Composition Original Oil on Canvas Dynamic figurative composition by Bay area Figural, Abstract expressionist and notable Burning Man artist Jakob Bokulich (American, b. 1974). Several figures are crowded together, some of which are nude. Others are wearing typical clothing, and appear to be going out their daily lives. The expressive, slightly distorted faces and close placement of the figures is reminiscent of some of Francisco Goya's paintings. Titled, dated, and signed on verso: "Entering the Bus" May, 1992 Jake Bokulich No frame, but the artist has affixed black tape to the edges. Jakob Bokulich (1974, Santa Cruz, CA) is a self-trained, multi-disciplinary artist known for his paintings and kinetic sculptures. His work is in the collection of the Croatian Embassy in Paris, and he was awarded an Honorarium grant in 2018 by Burning Man for his 21 foot-tall sculpture "Big Pollinator," which was years in the making and involved the work of over 100 volunteers. The son of an auto mechanic, Bokulich began painting at age 12 after a house fire left his family homeless and he stayed temporarily with a local landscape painter. At 17 he left home for Europe - his art education was living in art squats and artist communities, and immersing himself in the museums and galleries of Europe. Drawing inspiration from living in a war zone in Croatia between 1993-1995, he exhibited in galleries in Paris, Saint-Tropez, Chamonix, and Split, Croatia. Transitioning back to the U.S, the artist helped build artist communities in San Francisco and Oakland, being deeply involved in spaces such as Cellspace, The Artship, and The Creamery. In this phase of his practice, Bokulich explored performance and ritual, co-writing and performing in the film Hysteria by Antero Alli. This prompted his stay in LA working in film and set design. In 2015 the seasoned and well rounded artist moved to New York City to return to a studio practice, now informed by his experiences in ritual, meditation, and unconventional self exploration. Bokulich’s work reinforces modes of seeing in a world where the senses have become neglected.

Beam recognizes that a successful work of art “must develop its own personality…It must empower, engage or provoke the public’s attention.” One exhibition in particular, titled Owavino(1997-1998) [meaning last minute] held in Illinois—perhaps the pinnacle of media mastery—garnered Beam numerous reviews, attacks and responses, even after the exhibiton had closed, for his work Turkish Medal (1996-1997-2013). The painting combines a comparatively altered version of one of Pulitzer-Prize winning illustrator Bill Mauldin...
