Capra Sathanas
Capra Sathanas
By Richard Ingersoll
Capra Sathanas is a provocative and surreal exploration of myth and shadow by Colorado-based artist Richard Ingersoll. Rendered in meticulous oil on a 18 x 24 in. cradled wood panel, this work juxtaposes a luminous, ethereal sky with dark, symbolic imagery to create a scene that is as beautiful as it is unsettling.
Ingersoll’s mastery of light is on full display here; the soft pinks and greens of the clouds provide a dreamlike backdrop for the central, monumental figure. The piece invites viewers into a narrative-rich world where ancient archetypes and contemporary surrealism meet. The choice of cradled wood panel allows for a smooth, detailed application of oil, enhancing the clarity of the intricate, symbolic elements that define Ingersoll's unique "Dark Americana" aesthetic.
