About The Artwork

This is a conceptual bronze chess set inspired by the god of wine, theater and irrational behavior..Dionysus. The king is Dionysus..the queen his consort Ariadne..the bishop is a Maenad..the knight his follower Pan..the rook is a dead tree with vines..and the pawns are copulating goats, the wine god's totem animals. All of the pieces are masturbating and the goats are having sex. At the back is a larger bronze of Semele..the mother of Dionysus who serves as the arbiter. The table is made of Brazilian granite called golden lightning with the chess board sandblasted.The support leg is a solid cast iron tree form supported by a painted plate steel base decorated with bronze elm leaves. All pieces have leather cushions to minimize scratching. Also there is a relief bronze grape cluster with crossing thyrsi, the staffs of the wine god, which serves to hold the clock. This is a truly unique sculpture which took me 12 years to finally complete.
