Alexander Kanevsky painting Great Stage of Fools (2009, triptych, oil on wood, 213 x 122 cm)

Homage to Shakespear's "King Lear" "When we are born we cry that we are come  to this great stage of fools". Mentioned in Dante's "De Vulgari Eloquentia" indicating root of the phraze found in apocryphal Book of Wisdom and in Pliny's Natural History and many medieval texts.

Kanevsky emphasises corruption as the main moving force and empty scull cavities with missing brains, both causes and consequences of inequities at large, enormous tongues reaching to u unnecessary orifices to tie up the society in one inextricable suspenseful self propituating everlasting machine.
