Well, as usual, it came out so naturally, that I realized the obvious link to the masterpiece (1595, the Uffici, Florence) only when I was achieving this collage. Of course, I know this painting well, and I always felt that it was highly ambiguous because its sexual allusion. The boy looks really cute and inviting, with a very candid and light nature - there's a sort of innocence as I see this painting. And "my" Bacchus? The picture started with an ad of D&G, who are always playing with double meanings, mainly erotic of course. But here it was a little boy. I added some parts of a man in a magazine aiming partly at the gay community. What came out was a much more dramatic or even tragic picture than the Caravaggio. The innocence is lost, as it seems to be for many children today, the behavior copied from adult movies. It's the disenchantment of childhood.
P.S. Please don't imagine that I put myself at the same level as Caravaggio. See it as an inconscious homage to this genius I revere so much.

Comme toujours, cela s'est passé si naturellement que je ne me suis rendu compte de l'évident lien avec ce chef d'oeuvre du Caravage (1595, Offices, Florences)que lorsque je l'avais terminé. Je connais bien ce tableau qui m'a toujours semblé ambigu à cause de sa connotation sexuelle. Le garçon sur ce tableau est mignon et très aguicheur est en même temps si naturel, si léger - il y a là, pour moi, une espèce d'innocence. Et "mon" Bacchus à moi? Le collage a débuté avec une pub de D&G, qui sont toujours à double sens, du côté sexuel bien entendu. Mais ici, il y avait un petit garçon. J'ai ajouté quelques morceaux d'homme découpés dans un magazine s'adressant aux gays. Et ce qui en a résulté était plus dramatique ou même tragique que le Caravage. L'innocence est perdue, comme cela semble être le cas pour pas mal d'enfants, le comportement s'inspire de films pour adultes. C'est le désenchantement de l'enfance.
P.S. Prière de ne pas s'imaginer que je me place au même niveau que le Caravage. Voyez ce collage plutôt comme un hommage inconscient à ce génie que je vénère tant.
