Extase de Bernini: Santa Teresa (Bernini Ecstasy's: Saint Teresa) Painting

The exhibition "Blow Job - Trabalho de Sopro (Blow Job - Work of Blowing)", by Brazilian artist Fernando de La Rocque, fires up the audience with his images printed with cannabis smoke. The artist, who created other controversial works such as “Barata de Ouro” (Golden Cockroach) and the optical series of orgiastic tiles called “Colonias” ("Colonies"), reveals images with religious and political themes this time around. "Each image symbolizes an icon which championed our freedom, enabling us to do what we wanted. For example, the soviet space dog, Laika, is an allegory of desire without courage. No man had the courage to face the space capsule journey themselves. It embodies the Russian dream where for every conquest there must be someone to represent the will of the people.” The artist says that, "more important than freedom to smoke marijuana is the freedom to think about it and make art with it. Polemic issues divide opinions, forcing people to think and debate. Inertia is useless when we want to overcome something.” Publicly in favor of the liberation of marijuana in Brazil, de La Rocque presents his artwork and stands with it, making his point. Inspired by the sculpture of the seventeenth century Italian Gian Lorenzo Bernini who is in the church Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome, the image of the Ecstasy of St. Teresa now appears done with smoke of cannabis. The strength of the design reveals the torpor of the holy dialogue between immanence and transcendence, the mouth that tells the enjoyment caused by the penetration of the arrow of divine love. The image of Fernando de La Rocque circled the world and has been published in over 70 newspapers and shared on social networks, including BBC World, newspaper of the four corners of the United States as Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Huffington Post, sites in Japan , China, Russia, Greece and Latin America. According to La Rocque, Blow Job's exhibition reveals his series appearances. "Nobody sees ink in smoke, but the ink is there. It is almost a miracle, a revelation. But are not accidental, nor intentional. The figure is printed misty, like smoke. This unexpected images appear within the images intentional, with tones ranging from light yellow to dark brown, and hints of gold.
