Original 22x30. Mixed media oil painting on heavyweight, cold press ribbed-edge cotton rag paper. SOLD
Up close
Fingertips touched by magenta moons,
Cerulean blues and the faint gestures
Of two bodily wisps, torqued into one another.
Shadows of trees at the stem blush
Like bruised cushions and coral.
The sky, a pale yellow cheek embalmed
In grapefruit pulp and
Underripe berry, the atmosphere,
Bathed in myth over material.
Strokes lipped thickly across the surface,
Minute figures dipped against the
Stalk of rhythmic trees
And pastel fairytale.
The scene croaks a lowly mystique,
A mesmer in
Bodies wrestling,
mortal and divine faces thrusted in musical reflexion,
Heaven to dwell on earth and the earth,
To dwell in clouds of creamy fire.
Man and angel,
Angel and man,
So faintly traced the quarrel
Appears as an embrace.
– Jacob Wrestling with the Angel (ca. 1905-1910), Odilon Redon
