SODOM 1996

"SODOM", a 1996 work by Austrian artist Ernst Fuchs, depicts a dramatic scene with multiple figures. It appears to be a symbolic and allegorical work, with a focus on the destruction of the biblical city of Sodom. Fuchs is known for his use of symbolism and his blend of surrealism and realism. His work is often inspired by ancient myths and legends, and "SODOM" echoes this tendency with its interpretation of the biblical story. The painting uses a monochromatic palette, creating a sense of mystery and tension. The figures are rendered in a realistic style, but they are also distorted and exaggerated, adding to the overall sense of drama and theatricality. The painting's style is a blend of realism and surrealism, characteristic of Fuchs' later works.
