Donovan Fitzgerald “The Jealousy of VenusX in Gold” (2023) Original Painting

Good art does not need explaining. “The Jealousy of VenusX in Gold” by Donovan Fitzgerald (2023) makes its case the moment you look at it.

A classical marble torso emerges from darkness, dramatically adorned with streams of luminous golden honey that cascade down the pale stone surface. Two monarch butterflies alight upon the viscous amber flows, creating an arresting contrast between ancient sculptural form and organic sweetness. The rich interplay of cool marble whites against warm golden hues evokes themes of transformation, desire, and baroque sensuality. An energy in this piece that pulls you in and holds you there.

The work is mixed media on canvas, 38 x 32.5. Signed in pigment lower right by the artist.
