Series: Serialist Painting
Title: Grigori Rasputin
Size: 48" x 60"
Year: 2018
Medium: Serialist Mixed Media Painting
This one-of-a-kind Serialist Masterpiece by Brent Doty examines the figure of Grigori Rasputin as both historical presence and enduring myth. Constructed through layered imagery, symbolic repetition, and archival references, the painting reframes Rasputin as a nexus of power, belief, manipulation, and obsession—qualities that continue to resonate in contemporary culture.
Interwoven into the composition is a lesser-known Toronto connection through Grand Duchess Olga Romanov, whose later life in Canada forms a subtle but meaningful historical bridge between imperial Russia and modern Toronto. This geographic and cultural linkage grounds the work in real history, transforming the painting into a meditation on exile, legacy, and the migration of power across time and place.
Rasputin is designed for collectors drawn to layered narratives, historical complexity, and visually commanding contemporary art. Ideal for female collectors, corporate collections, interior designers, and luxury condo buyers, the painting offers a culturally intelligent focal point and long-term investment value—an uncompromising, one-of-a-kind work that rewards both visual engagement and intellectual inquiry.
