The Mistresses of Alcibiades Craig Drennen First Mistress 2007 oil on canvas+ latex on wall 18”x18” canvas + wall painting I have now organized my studio practice around the play Timon of Athens, written by William Shakespeare between 1605 and 1608, but not published until the folio of 1623. It is considered to be Shakespeare’s most difficult and obscure work, and is the only of his plays not performed in his lifetime. It may well be unfinished. It may have been partially written by Thomas Middleton, although there are brief passages credited to Thomas Heywood, George Wilkins, John Day, or Cyril Tourneur. The dramatis personae of the play have provided me an ample starting point from which to begin. The Mistresses of Alcibiades are the first works from this series, and combine small-scale oil paintings of clenched anuses placed in the context of stark, reductive lines. These works constitute a marriage of extreme body images and extreme formalism, in the service of an extremely difficult 400-year old play.
