Xaphan is one of the fallen angels. He rebelled with Satan and was remembered for trying to set Heaven on fire before they cast out. How do you set fire to heaven with anything other than lightning? He failed, but was condemned to fan the flames of the abyss for eternity, with his mouth and hands despite having a bellows as his symbol. Does that seem overly cruel? Should he be remembered slightly more considering all the attention that Satan gets? I used Silver oil paint for the wings and I wanted to try and capture the intense light from a Bolt of lightning. I'd seen many attempts at this in old masters but they never quite managed it, I think this is closer but I may return to that quest at some point...

What is it every artist is trying to achieve? Recognition? Perfection? Fame? Wealth?... Or are they trying to convey something of themselves? To understand the inner workings of what it is to be a human and how that manifests into the people and the world around them? What shall I paint? Do I try to convey a message? Symbolism? Allegory? A legend? A myth? A story? All questions every artist since the cave has been grappling with and no doubt will continue to do so ad infinitum. My ancestors painted religion, I consider myself to be currently painting that which has replaced it in the age of nihilism, narcissism, identity & sexuality. So I'm trying to paint something that challenges the viewer, that dances on the edge of socially and culturally acceptable. Dares the observer to step outside of convention, to hang one of my paintings is going to require something other than just money, something more important than money... you won't see one of my paintings in the high street gallery! Buy art because you... ...LOVE IT! Guy. p.s. I have a free signed copy of my full colour art book, which is available on Amazon, if you are the first to send me an email via my 'Contacts' page on website, with 'USINU' as subject I will post you that book as a prize. Thank you for reading this. (I will post note here once over) www.GuyUsinUArtist.co.uk
