APPENZELLER / MEN EXPLAIN THINGS TO ME
—---------

With this monumental work Vitaly Cherepanov draws on tradition of Swiss folk imagery, connecting it to his continued work with naïve art.

At the centre stands a young woman in a light-blue Appenzeller costume, a figure familiar from Swiss beer labels, yet here she refuses a decorative role. She disrupts a chess game—after Paris Bordone’s Two Chess Players—by throwing Rebecca Solnit’s Men Explain Things to Me (2014) onto the table, spilling beer and unsettling what might have been a patriarchal idyll.

In the right corner, Cherepanov quotes Antonio Veneziano’s icon of Saint James the Greater, isolating only the apostle’s hand. Removed from its sacred context, the gesture no longer blesses but bargains, showing how even faith or feminism can be rebranded and sold.

The painting becomes a blend of Swiss folk art, symbolism, satire of patriarchy, and a sharp reflection on how capitalism consumes ideals, stripping them of purity and turning them into commodities.
