The picture takes place in Benin at evening in the long-long ago. The weather is a violent typhoon, rain lashing down and the wind howling. A group of young men, clad in intricately woven leather armor and adorned with tribal markings, are desperately trying to reinforce a colossal Leatherwood sculpture depicting a mythical warrior god with a massive, stylized serpent entwined around it. Lightning illuminates the scene intermittently, revealing terrified, wide-eyed animals – warthogs and baboons – huddled amongst the dense jungle foliage. The Leatherwood is partially collapsed, revealing a chaotic interior filled with flickering torches and strange, glowing artifacts. The overall style is Anachronism in Acrylic Painting technique by artist Vitaly Komar, with a bold, surreal and slightly unsettling aesthetic.
