Bernini's Ecstasy of Saint Teresa is one of the most charged and transcendent works in Western art history. Gary Hogben takes that subject and reimagines it entirely — not in marble, but in layers of oil paint, acrylic, and printed page, building a composition that is at once reverent and radically contemporary. The result is a work that carries the weight of its source material while being unmistakably of the present.
Hogben works in oils on an acrylic background, integrating a printed page element that adds both physical texture and conceptual depth to the composition. The collision of materials — paint, print, collage — mirrors the collision of the sacred and the sensory that defines the original subject. At 101 × 76 cm, the work has the scale and presence to hold its own on any wall.
This is a painting for someone who wants art that rewards sustained attention — that reveals more the longer you spend with it. Ideal for a modern home, a gallery space, or a curated collection where originality and intellectual depth are valued above all.
