art piece to buy PATER INCERTUS (a few words from the artist) > The artwork displays a photographic image, accompanied by a line of text, both placed inside of a black square which plays the key role of a "sacred" chamber. > The text reads "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani". > The photo pictures an empty contour resembling a Christian orthodox icon. > The title was inspired by an ancient spiritual trick used to ward off the "unteachable" (people deafly entrenched in rigid religious dogma and prejudice) and keep around only those able to decode subtle, ineffable spiritual meanings in doesn't matter what form they happen to be presented. > The trick consists in inserting in spiritual texts misleading, apparently offensive or blasphemous expressions which hold back fanatic "believers", leaving behind only the open-minded. > "Pater Incertus" ("uncertain father" in Latin) in artist's take, doesn't question in fact the miraculous conception; it "secretly" refers to completely different things such as seeing doubt as a healthy, anti-delusional, approach to authentic spirituality; or expressing opposition towards the infantile habit of imagining "God" as a human-like presence; or attempting to metaphorically describe the mysterious, incomprehensible, free nature of "God", etc. ======================================================================================= WHY BUY THIS ARTWORK > Because it is infused with intriguing but authentic spiritual meanings which makes it suitable to play the role of a sui-generis, contemporary, icon. ======================================================================================= This 25-LIMITED EDITION > The paper used for the prints is the exquisite resin coated 285 gsm HAHNEMÜHLE PEARL. > The ARTWORK is numbered and signed on the back. > It is shipped in a carefully designed ART PROTECTIVE package. ======================================================================================= Images & Texts Copyright © 2019+ Bogdan ANDA (R) All Rights Reserved

• Born in Transylvania, Romania, I currently live and work in Leicester, the UK. =============================== ◙ I started to be interested in art only after I accidentally met a group of "mystic", "uneducated" people, in Benares / India, more than 30 years ago. ◙ One important conclusion that I draw from their teachings was that art can be a privileged spiritual path, for both artists and art lovers. ===============================
