ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Based on Egyptian Mythology – The ancient Egyptian goddesses Ammit was the personification of divine retribution. She sat beside scales of Ma’at ready to Devourer the souls of those deemed unworthy. Those unfortunate enough to fall judgement of the dead would suffer the feared second death, and have no chance of the blissful life of the fields of reeds, instead roaming restlessly for eternity. She was generally depicted as a demon with the head of a crocodile, the torso of a wild cat, and the hindquarters of a hippopotamus. However she also took human form. Ammit was never worshipped, and was not strictly a goddess, but her image was thought to ward off evil. She was the personification of all that the ancient Egyptians feared and a reminder to live by the principles of Ma’at. Although she was referred to as a demon, she was in reality a force for order. Moreover each person was at least given the chance to defend their actions before being consigned to eternal damnation. The heart scarab was used to encourage the persons heart not to speak out against them and the negative confession allowed a person to defend themselves by pointing out all of the evil actions they had NOT taken. Recently Ammit appeared in the new Disney Marvel series Moon Knight. But I feel this was a swing and a miss on a great opportunity to make this character really scary and cool. I was hoping they would have gone with a similar type of version, like I have depicted in this painting. This painting is available to buy along with a run of prints too.

Ian Leaver-Blaxstone
United Kingdom
After training as a graphic designer, Ian began developing his signature style as an artist; experimenting with complimentary bold and bright images, he enfolds fragments of the modern world within vintage B-movies, mythology, folklore, and sci-fi themes. Ian regularly exhibits within Brighton’s Artists Open Houses Festival and has displayed work in Worthing Museum, as part of the Open21 exhibition. Previously had an original Beav-Art on display at Norman Cook’s (aka Fatboy Slim) Big Beach Café in Hove Lagoon. This has now recently sold. In 2019 Ian appeared as one of the contestants on Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year. Continuing his passion for all things B-movie, Ian has also appeared as a zombie in the mini web series ZOMBN1 – based on the critically acclaimed Brighton based, zombie themed board game by Paul Stapleton. His works have been published by Penguin (within Doctor Who: 100 Illustrated Adventures) and you can read about his art and inspiration in an interview with Art Etcetera magazine, Altered Lands (Edition VIII). Ian’s larger scale installation work has included a murmuration of over 2000 origami cranes. In collaboration with Dr Christa Beesley the piece, called Souls to Paradise, featured paper birds handmade by people who had lost loved ones to the Covid pandemic. The installation, both a memorial and image of hope, was on show at The Spire, St Mark’s, a decommissioned church in Brighton. It received national coverage on the BBC and ITV Since 2017 Ian has worked as a Resident Artist for Wellsbourne Healthcare CIC. Here he works to promote art within East Brighton and give local residents a platform for their work. This has included setting up Trailblazer, the first ever East Brighton art trail with Brighton Festival in 2019. He also curates exhibitions for local artists and groups. Ian’s work can currently be seen in Sky Arts Artist of the Year Gallery. He is also a regular artist at Jules Emporium & Conclave Gallery in Brighton. Most recently three of his paintings have now been made into puzzles by the new Brighton company Puzzle Bored.
