GATES OF HELL
20X20X1.5"
ACRYLIC ON CANVAS
$1000
THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP TO A LARGER PAINTING I DID YEARS AGO AT MY OJAI, CA, STUDIO. MY EARLIER WATERCOLORS HAVE BEEN AN INSPIRATION FOR SEVERAL OF MY LARGER PAINTINGS IN OIL OR ACRYLIC. ONE CLIENT HAS PURCHASED A PHOTO PRINT OF THIS IMAGE IN A LARGE FORMAT METAL MEDIUM AND IT MAKES A DRAMATIC VISUAL IMPACT ON HIS ENTRY FOYER.
THE ORIGINAL THEME IS TAKEN FROM DANTE ALIGHIERI’S LITERARY PIECE THE DIVINE COMEDY, WHICH INCLUDES THE PHRASE, “ABANDON ALL HOPE, YE WHO ENTER HERE.”
STEP THROUGH THE GATES OF HELL WITH THIS CAPTIVATING ARTWORK OF A STRIKING REPRESENTATION OF THE ENTRANCE OF THE UNDERWORLD. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF THIS DARK AND COMPELLING PLACE. THIS THOUGHT-PROVOKING PIECE IS SURE TO SPARK CONVERSATIONS AND INTRIGUE VIEWERS
