JACOB'S LADDER 10/10 Painting

JACOB'S LADDER Size: 30.3 in x 22.4 in The cycle of 10 watercolours on handmade paper Created: 2019 The cycle of ten watercolours was presented to the audience at the DDA Gallery, Pratt Institute Brooklyn, NY 11215. A printed document was also issued on this occasion. The expert text was contributed by dr. Marjeta Ciglenečki. »Jacob’s ladder has always been understood as a bridge between the earthly life, where our experience resides, and the other life, which remains completely secret except for a few chosen ones who can perceive a certain reflection from the beyond, but this can only happen in certain states, for example, in one’s sleep. In the past, it was significant that the depictions of Jacob’s ladder clearly defined the earth and the sky. However, the modern man also identifies with the undefined top of the ladder, which may get completely lost in dizzy heights. The mysterious power of Jacob’s ladder lies in the message of the biblical metaphor; yet, should we follow the Slovenian philosopher Marko Uršič’s interpretation, art also possesses a cognitive tendency characteristic of scriptures. Oto Rimele marked the bottom centre of the large watercolours with the title (JACOB’S LADDER), the number in the series, the signature and year. All the pencil-made inscriptions are in line with the ladder’s compositional structure. It seems as if the written words also shape themselves into rungs, thus persuading us to think that the artist perceives his mission as a gruelling ascent towards the unknown and the unspeakable, towards the beyond.« Marjeta Ciglenečki The cycle The Jacob’s ladder (ten watercolors) is for sale as a whole.
