“Look Up Triptych2” – 110x110 cm x 3 Original Mixed Media Wall Art
Oil, Acrylic & Copper, gold and silver Leaf and Ceramic, on Canvas
This triptych was made after years of photographing skies at different times of day, from a blazing sunny bright blue to the moody dark blue hues before a storm. I love skies and clouds and had always wanted to paint them so I fulfilled a lifelong ambition here painting these expansive skies.
Along with the skies I am fascinated by angels especially angelic wings, having read about them in the bible and heard numerous stories of visions. I wanted to include these images in my art. During lockdown I had started to make ceramic hearts for the passing of Covid victims which vastly outnumbered my making, so I decided to use them in this triptych. This portrayal from death to life gives another layer of meaning to my work.
The title of the triptych came from a verse in the bible that as impressed upon me while making these pieces; "So when all these things begin to happen, stand and look up, for your salvation is near!” Luke 21:28
