This painting relates the final days of the apocalypse from the book of Revelation (Apocalypse) in the Bible. The demon dancing around the severed head of John the baptist symbolizes the beheading of the Tribulation saints. The frog symbolizes the three devil spirits released upon the Earth to deceive mankind. The powers of heaven are shaken, i.e. the powers of uranos (uranium) will be "agitated." That is exactly what happens in a nuclear explosion. The stars fall from heaven: a nuclear explosion is the same energy as a star. "The Earth was lighted with his glory, And he cried mightily with a strong voice, Saying, Babylon the Great is fallen, is fallen" (ref. Revelation 18:1-2). More...

2015 BIOGRAPHY: NORBERT H. KOX was born in Green Bay, Wisconsin, August 6, 1945, just nine hours after the bombing of Hiroshima, Japan. He sees this ushering in of his birth by an atomic explosion as an important omen in the foreshadowing of his apocalyptic art ministry. Norbert Kox is a practicing professional artist and past Sculpture and Painting Instructor at University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and also has taught his techniques of luminous painting at UWGB Summer Art Studios, for 15 years. He has developed his own techniques of translucent acrylic glazing to produce the same intensely glowing effects and illusionary dimensional space that he achieves with oils. His style and technique have become an unmistakable trademark distinguishing his works from any others. He refers to his visual work as Apocalyptic Visual Parables, in the genre of Apocalyptic Surrealism. The pieces are bathed with symbols and metaphors, and are colorfully painted with realistic shading and highlighting. Some are more abstract while others are more figurative. Most are very surreal and many of these works contain his own poetry and writings, along with Bible verses and Bible Codes (the "Torah Code") written within the work for reference. Kox's intent is to excite and encourage the viewer to begin his or her own research into spiritual and religious matters rather than trusting handed down traditions. Some of the paintings expose idolatry and hypocrisy as sins of organized religion. "Contemporary religious painter Norbert Kox is one of America's most important Visionary artists. His self-described 'apocalyptic visual parables' utilize powerful symbolic metaphors aiming to shake modern man from his spiritual malaise and clear away centuries worth of mistranslations of the Bible." (Richard Metzger, Disinformation: The Interviews, p. 116). His 1999 Neville Museum exhibit, To Hell and Back, received national media coverage, and remained in the news for 3.5 months, including many television broadcasts and several radio talk shows. It was also protested by the New York Catholic Defense League, and was picketed by local fanatics. Norbert Kox artwork has been represented in the New York Outsider Art Fair for more than fifteen years by various galleries: Ann Nathan, Chicago; Dean Jensen, Milwaukee; Judy Saslow, Chicago; Henry Boxer, London; Galerie Toxic (Armand Hein) Luxembourg.
