About this artwork
This piece I call "Dio" is based on the Greek god Dionysus. Dionysus is described as the Greek god of wine, theater, fertility, religious ecstasy, and ritual madness. Dionysus can also be gender fluid. The expressionistic/fauvist landscape of swirling brush marks and bright colors are brought into and through the figure painted in bold black lines. I wanted the figure to be outwardly introspective while the colorful expressive brush work points to…
Dio's passionate nature within.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Bruce Rauffenbart is a New York artist who studied painting in Philadelphia, Provincetown and Rome, He is an adept figure draughtsman but his painting is mainly abstract. Rauffenbart draws inspiration from the many resources in New York City including the growing gallery scene in his Tribeca neighborhood. His continued travels to Rome, Naples and Sicily have deepened his interest in classical mythology and art history. His painting reimagines these classical sources with inventive, transformative processes radiating an emotional intensity—evoking the primal, passionate, and poetic—expressing the grandeur and vulnerability inherent in myth while also evoking something of our own time.
