REBIRTH (oil on canvas with monotype printing) Painting

‘Rebirth’ illustrates my fascination with religion, religious symbolism and reincarnation. The use of large blocks of colour is inspired by the works of the Abstract Expressionists - primarily Mark Rothko. Depth of vision is created through the layering of oil paint and monotype printmaking over large expanses of the colour RED - a symbol of energy and rebirth. The powerful symbol of the cross (crucifix) displayed at centre of the work is surrounded by monotype prints depicting various iconography, as well as the notion of reincarnation through my interpretation of Leonardo da Vinci’s inspired Fetus as well as references to the classical artists depictions of the crucifixion of Christ. An opening flower….a wound with flowing blood. Layers of text, code and symbols are a reference to the Ancient Scriptures and Hieroglyphics (the formal writing system used in Ancient Egypt) and Sanskrit (relating to the classical language of Indian and ceremonial, ritualistic language of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism) Red is a magical and religious colour. most of red’s symbolism today arises from its powerful associations in the past. It symbolized super-human heroism to the Greeks and is the colour of the Christian crucifixion. In Asian cultures, red represents purity, joy, and celebration. It’s a stimulating colour that represents excitement and energy, the colour of blood and fire – it’s energetic and powerful, …representing physical energy.
