Smoker, an oil painting by Vakhtang Kakulia

With this painting we continue with the theme of vice seen in this collection of oil paintings by Vakhtang Kakulia. Previously we saw the temptation of alcohol and then what can be the unfortunate outcome of drinking too much. Now we are introduced to the smoker, an apparently glamorous woman, composed of angular planes, somewhat reminiscent of the cubist art of Picasso. Wispy lines in the background additionally bring to mind the work of Joan Miro.

We invite you to comment below on this painting of a Woman Smoking by Vakhtang Kakulia.

She by the Angel Bottle of Bourbon

She by the Angel and a Bottle of Bourbon depicts the same woman that we saw earlier in Vahktang Kakulia's painting Drunk Girl on the Toilet. I presume this painting is a little earlier in the evening as the woman fights the temptation of alcohol with the aid of an angel. Her left hand, which would be the one closest to the bottle of bourbon, is stretched out across her body to the right where an angel dressed as a man stands. I surmise that the battle between the demon drink and the angel was won by the bottle of bourbon judging by the wreck the woman becomes in the Drunk Girl on the Toilet painting.

Drunk Girl on the Toilet

This painting of a Drunk Girl on the Toilet by Vakhtang Kakulia really cracks me up. What was not so long ago a slender young beauty has been reduced to basic humanity by the demon drink. Take a closer look at Vakhtang's painting of a drunk girl and come back and post your comments. We want to hear what you think.
