Gods Behaving Badly

Original Contemporary Mixed-Media Painting

In Gods Behaving Badly, classical elegance meets the unruly visual language of contemporary street culture.

Three classical figures emerge through layers of distressed imagery, handwritten text, and expressive brushwork. A sweeping black gesture cuts across the composition, while touches of pink, fragments of subway signage, and a loosely drawn red heart bring an unexpected sense of spontaneity to the work.

Part of Susan Washington's evolving Subway Sonnets series, this original abstract figurative painting brings together the permanence of classical sculpture and the impermanence of urban surfaces. The result is a contemporary mixed-media artwork that feels both timeless and unmistakably modern.
