The Power House Painting

If you are interested in purchasing this or any of my art, please contact my gallery New Blood Art. In this painting the cross of the power cable to mimics the Christian Cross. The new power over people is in electricity and our digital footprint rather than the control religion used to have over our lives. I think I will make it bigger as this one is only 8×10inches. I like the dusky handling, the ‘about to rain’ highlights, the slight dystopian feel… ” The way the power cable looms in this painting makes me feel almost trapped. But the negative spaces give me hope that one day electricity won’t have such a hold on the world. Thanks, I thought it might be a little dark and depressing. With these shortening days I find myself turning on all the lights in the house. next painting I want to include the glow of illumination but I don’t want the ‘hope’ in the painting to come form the artificial light… not sure how to compose it. “Religion’s still a surprisingly powerful force in much of the world, including the US. I like the idea of electricity in an apocalyptic battle with theology for dominion over the hearts and soul of mankind. It’s such an oddball conflict, although I suppose electricity could be stand-in for science, or progress or communication, or any number of things. Let there be light! Electricity is not artificial, nor is it an artifact of man: A lightbulb may be, but then so is ‘art’. And if ‘god’ created all these things, as most Judaeo-Christian adherents believe, then there is no ‘unnatural’ thing in the universe. someone should do a graphic novel about the adventures of Jesus vs ‘Sparky’. Really like your painting, by the way. I don’t know if I’d describe it as electrifying, but it’s gray fog atmosphere is evocative and the composition is powerful.
