Y2K door Print - Limited Edition of 1

The topic of the closed door in art is abundant. Many artists were fascinated from the mistery and the symbolism of a closed door. Ghiberti made one of the most impressive examples in the Renaissance, then Donatello chose the same motive for his "Annunciation". Maybe one of the most popular doors comes from Rodin: "The Gates of Hell" highlight Dante's Inferno as a romantic source of inspiration. In my personal version, the primary source is Ghiberti's "Porta del Paradiso" in Florence. Instead of the biblical scenes I have painted images that describe the burning issues of our time (climate change, the power of the empires, violence and revolutions, wars), and instead of the saints and the prophets on the sides, I have painted artists and intellectuals who have influenced or represented the course of the modern Western history from my personal point of view (all in all, 44 heads and statues). They also give us the key to understand and foresee the development of the new millenium ahead... and open that door without fear. Here below the complete list for each single door leaf: Left (counterclockwise): Laura Bassi Frida Kahlo Nan Goldin Edie Sedgwick Marie Curie Vandana Shiva Clara Immerwahr Leni Rifenstahl Anguissola Sofonisba Alda Merini Artemisia Gentileschi Ulrike Hermann Elizabeth Jennings Graham Naomi Klein Mary Wollstonecraft George Sand Sara Teasdale Ada Lovelace Virginia Wolf Elena Lucrezia Corner Piscopia Mary Shelley Right (counterclockwise): George Seurat Filippo Brunelleschi Aldous Huxley Galileo Galilei Bertrand Russell Marcel Duchamp Roland Barthes David Graeber Baruch De Spinoza Charles Darwin Marshall McLuhan Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi Daniele Ganser Martin Luther King Karl Polanyi Leonardo da Vinci Edward Snowden Sigmund Freud Noam Chomsky Giordano Bruno Gerhard Richter There are two more heads, actually... one is mine and it is in place of Ghiberti's own head on the original door...
