Gallery Artist: Walerij Baranow
This original work «God is not a capitalist» was created by the contemporary Austrian artist Walerij Baranow.
The painting by Walerij Baranow, “God is not a capitalist”, made using wood/plaster, plastic, oil, and gold leaf techniques, is a sharp statement by the artist about the role of money and capitalism in modern society. The artist uses familiar symbols to critique them and provoke the viewer to reflect on their priorities.
The central element of the composition is a large, distorted one-dollar bill. Its image, painted in oil, appears blurred and warped, as if reflecting the distorted perception of values in a world obsessed with materialism. George Washington, depicted on the bill, looks at the viewer with a certain challenge or perhaps regret.
At the top of the painting, above the bill, there is a three-dimensional element – a bitten apple with golden leaves. The apple, a traditional symbol of knowledge, temptation, and the fall from grace, gains a new meaning here. The golden leaves emphasize its value but at the same time make it artificial, alluding to the idea of consumption and the thirst for possession. This may symbolize how capitalism distorts natural values, turning them into objects of speculation and accumulation.
The title of the painting, “God is not a capitalist”, directly points to the central idea. It questions the notion that material wealth is the highest value or equivalent to divine blessing. The artist likely hints that true values – spirituality, humanity, love – stand above money and material goods.
Walerij Baranow uses the contrast between real and artificial materials to emphasize his message. Plaster and oil create volume and texture, while gold leaf adds shine and a sense of false luxury. The painting “God is not a capitalist” is a challenge to modern consumer society, a call to think about what is truly important in life and to reconsider one’s values.
This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a beautiful decoration for your interior.
